Why did you make this work:
I created this editorial illustration for an article called: Improving AI via Chess as a commission. This is an article about an artificial intelligence researcher who is working on a variant of blind chess, which is mostly played by bots. The “player” (bot) only sees a small portion of the board and gets intel with which it has to make decisions on what moves to make.

How was the illustration used:
It is an editorial illustration for the Johns Hopkin Magazine Winter, 2021 Issue.

How did you make this work:
I started the ideation part with hand drawing and then used Procreate and Photoshop on iPad to finish the illustration.
