November Birth Flowers Drop Cap Tutorial. Follow along with my step-by-step video for creating this floral letter in Procreate.
November Birth Flowers Drop Cap Tutorial
Can you believe we only have one more month left after this one? I can’t say that Mums are my favorite flower, but they’re synonymous with Fall and always make an appearance on my Fall Porch Décor. They’re also the November birth flower, so we’ll be using them in this month’s Drop Cap design!
The video tutorial is just shy of 45 minutes long, and you’ll most likely need to press pause along the way. You can expect this project to take you about 60+ minutes to complete.
New to this series?
I recommend completing the previous lessons and then returning to this one, as some lessons build on things taught in prior tutorials.

- Procreate App
- November Color Palette (Download it free below. It’s in a Procreate-specific format)
- A Variety of Procreate Brushes. Mainly a basic monoline brush, a texture brush, and a few simple stamps from The Creativity Kit. The main texture brush I’ll be using is the DND Burlap Texture Brush from my Texture Kit 2 Brush Set. You can use a different one if you’d like, though! 🙂
- Drop Cap Reference Sheet. I created a worksheet you can print and reference as we work through the step together.

OMG! I literally have been checking all morning hoping maybe it be put soon! Love it love love love it! I’m getting started right now!
I really really hope you will do this again next year or something similar for us to do monthly! This has been so amazing and fun!
Love your content!!
Hi Nicole! YAY! I’m working on my plan for 2022 now. It’s a moving year for us, which always makes it tough because we end up living out of a hotel for anywhere from 1-3 months but I’ll definitely be doing something. I’m just not sure what yet! I may even go back and update super old video tutorials from years ago and complete redo them since Procreate has changed a lot…as have my video filming and editing skills, LOL! If you have things you’d love to see taught, send them on over! I’m always keeping lists of ideas and, of course, want to teach things y’all actually want to learn. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Thank you so much for the time you take to explain everything. This has been the most difficult letter for me and I would love you to do this lesson again and focus only on the letter with ll the shadowing and extensions. I’ve done this lesson more than once stopping and re-starting along the way but I still don’t have this one where I would like it to be.
I’m truly loving this year long project and have learned so much.
Thanks again
Hi Wendy! I’ll work on a simplified tutorial for the inner inset shadow. 🙂 Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m so happy to hear you’ve learned a lot from this year-long project. I’m filming December’s tutorial today!
