September Birth Flowers Drop Cap Tutorial. Follow along with my video on Procreate tips for creating this whimsical, childlike letter S.
September Birth Flowers Drop Cap Tutorial
A script letter “S” combined with Aster florals in a whimsical, childlike illustration style is what we’ll be creating together this month.
The video tutorial is nearly 40 minutes long, but I had some requests to break things down even further, and you’ll probably need to press pause along the way. I’d expect this project to take you about an hour or even up to 90 minutes to complete. 🙂
New to this series?
I recommend completing the previous lessons first and then returning to this one, as some lessons build on things taught in prior tutorials, although this one is pretty beginner-friendly. 🙂
