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."

AW: How old are you and what should we call you?

JU: My name is Johnny Utah and Yikes I’m 36!

AW: Where are you from?

JU: Born in Seoul, Korea and moved out to the US in 1981. I have been living in La Habra, California since then.

how to draw star wars art

Who doesn't love Star Wars? Not Justin BUA, that's for sure. And he's not the only one out there who knows how to draw who feels this way. Given that the films are visually spectacular, as art lovers we can't help but love Star Wars art. Well, the KING of Star Wars art was a guy named John Berkey, and BUA wants to make sure you know all about him. There's actually an important reason for this that goes beyond appreciation for Star Wars art that will help you as you're learning how to draw. Oh yes, this stuff goes way beyond Star Wars.
