It's a great feeling when as a student you're able to impress the teacher. One of Justin BUA's art students sent him this portrait drawing - which if you notice is made up entirely of hundreds (thousands?) of the little "BUA"s. Incredible! BUA posted the picture from his Facebook page, where it's gotten a ton of feedback and positive praise from people all over the world. We reached out to the artist, who's been studying how to draw with BUA's online art lessons for a couple months now, and we're very excited to showcase him in our latest edition of "Profiles in Online Learning."
