It’s been a while (quite a while) since his amazing You Can Draw Star Wars series, but Matt Busch is back with the trailer for Illustrating Star Wars, celebrating 30 years of official Star Wars art by showing us his process and techniques and giving us an insight into how these incredible pieces are created.

Star Wars Artist Matt Busch is celebrating his 30th Anniversary of illustrating books, posters, apparel and more for that galaxy far, far away…. Perfect timing to deliver a new video series detailing each step of creating his latest work, VADER’S WORLD. Beginning next week, he’ll shares off-the-cuff tips, tricks, and techniques for illustrating a vibrant montage using acrylics and color pencils.

Be sure to check out our interview with Matt from almost 20 years ago right here.
