♟ “She liked the power of the pieces, exerted along files and diagonals. In the middle of the game, when pieces were everywhere, the forces crisscrossing the board thrilled her. She brought out her king’s knight, feeling its power spread.” ♟ - The Queen’s Gambit, Walter Tevis.
I wanted to draw this scene from the book that the series didn’t adapt (first picture), the next picture didn’t happen.
This was originally drawn back around june-august but shit happened and I just got around to finish it
I didn’t use much reference, I just found out Benny does not have any white pillows in the show so.. that’s an accidental chess symbolism.
Both drawings were done a few months apart.
