Hey, Lee White here. I've been a professional illustrator and teacher for almost 25 years. I've seen many success stories along the way, but I've also seen students struggle. And when they do, they think the same thing over and over. They think if I could only draw better, I could save this painting that's not working. But drawing isn't the problem. Typically design and process are. I know my students have the ideas. They've got the characters.

They definitely have the enthusiasm. But in the end, like I said, the images just feel off. They

can't bring them to a solid finish. So what ends up happening then is decorating. They add

details. They try to different colors. They're just basically painting all over the place,

trying to end up with something that works, but it never quite clicks. And so here's the thing. Without any kind of structure, it's really easy to get lost when you're making a painting, when you're making an illustration. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Most illustrators start off strong. They lose their way because they don't have a step-by-step process that they're following. They don't really know how to get to that finish. Solving these kind of problems is exactly why I built a new kind of class. It's called Sketch Smart. It's a step-by-step class. It teaches you how to go from your thumbnail image to a design that's ready to paint. This class is a shortcut to smarter and faster image making by focusing on

design. It's also a ton of fun and it clears up just a lot of the confusion on moving a painting

forward. I'll show you how to kick off your illustrations with bold shapes, strong ideas,

and confident choices. So you're not just drawing, you're actually moving your image forward

in a way that matters. You're going to learn, you're actually moving your image forward in a way that

matters. You're going to learn how to simplify without losing your impact, make compositions that pop,

and fix design flops before they actually slow you down and you get lost along the way.

Whether you're drawing quirky characters, dreamy worlds, or wild ideas, this class is your

ticket to better and more professional work and easier

work. The best part is you can start using all of these tips and tricks and techniques immediately.

They work right now where you are right now. So you can sign up at svslearn.com. Classes start

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 Samantha Caudrill, and let's jump into it.

All right, so I want to talk about pivoting.

The reason this is on my mind is I was talking to a friend of mine who we were talking about
