Untitled is a 1942 ink by Oswaldo Guayasamín, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows two people lying down, facing each other. Their faces are blurred and dark, with quick, wavy lines marking their features. The bodies are simple shapes—just a few strokes for limbs and curves for the torso. The background is mostly empty, with a few loose lines scattered around. The drawing feels rushed, like it was made fast. The artist used heavy ink strokes to fill in shadows and shapes, giving it a rough, almost scratchy look. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
