  Step 1

  The letter I have chosen for illustration is “L” because it’s easy to draw and demonstrate. I have chosen a neat Sans Serif font from the internet as shown and used a ruler and a pencil to create an outline.

  Step 2

  Now it’s time to fill the letter block with the botanical motifs. I have started from the center of the straight vertical line of "L" by drawing a giant floral element and extended outwards with leafy branches and smaller floral embellishments using a pencil.

  Step 3

  Just ensure that the empty spaces between the botanical motifs and filled the gaps with tiny dots, hearts and floral. I do not want to completely hide the border of the alphabet as you can see below.

• 

  Step 4

  I have opted for a Micron Pen to outline the motifs as it is waterproof. Do not forget to erase your pencil marks once you have traced it with the pen.

• 

  Step 5

  Fill up the botanical elements with gouache paint of your choice. I wanted a vibrant and opaque look so I tried to add almost all the basic colors.I also added tiny white dots to the body to complete the monogram.

  Step 6

  This is how the botanical elements in the letter would look like after its painted. Isn’t it gorgeous?
