Hello everybody. Welcome to Three Point Perspective, the podcast about illustration, how to do it, how to make a living at it, and how to make an impact in the world with your art.

I'm Jake Parker. I'm Lee White. And I'm Will Terry. All three of us are professional illustrators and I've been working for about the last 25 years.

We've worked with just about every major publisher and publication in the business.

Together we've published probably over 100 books.

We've been saying 50, but it's probably over 100.

And we've all taught illustration at the universities.

That's right.

I'd say our book counts over 1,000, maybe. 10,000. Copies right. I'd say our book counts over a thousand, maybe. Ten thousand.

Are we counting copies printed? Yeah, sure.

Just up the number every time. Counting individual pages. Yes, each week we're going to come

at you with a different topic. Sometimes we're going to agree. Sometimes we're going to argue,

like today, but each time you're going to learn something brand spanking new.

All right. Updates. What's going on in the world of Lee White?

I am into finished art on my book. I'm so excited to be doing finished art. It's just so, so much fun after such a long period of sketching.

So I'm just cruising through these things.

And what's nice is I did color studies,

and I'm just kind of going through them without thinking.

I have music on.

I got my coffee.

And it's like, it's what being an illustrator is all about, in my opinion,

like this phase of the project.

It's like the movie poster for illustration.
