Correct Answer

verified

In No Title (Not a single armorer . . . ), Raymond Pettibon uses brush and ink on paper. We tend to classify this type of work as a drawing because it was created on paper, is in black and white, and is largely linear in character-that is, Pettibon used the brush largely to make lines. Pettibon used a fine brush to draw the slender, even lines of the text at the upper left and a larger brush and a looser, more varied line to create the image.
