Untitled is a 1993 ink by Tom Otterness, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows tangled, overlapping lines forming a messy, swirling shape. The lines are thick in some spots and fade out in others, creating a sense of movement. The whole thing is drawn in black ink on a light background, looking almost like a quick, rough draft. The drawing uses lots of tiny parallel lines to build up dark areas—a technique that makes shadows pop. It’s not a finished piece but feels like a study or a sketchbook page. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists use ink and lines to create depth.
