Description Check out the Golden Exercise and Download the Practice Sheet HERE
EXERCISE:  Challenging your knowledge and application of gold. 

You can use gold on many different materials and surfaces from a golden helm to the stitching of a golden fleece. The trick is knowing how to accurately create the appearance of gold. Gold itself is a metal material. A metal surface will most often reflect light rather than absorbing it. We created a reference last year that give you a quick look at one way of creating the “golden” look.

This will be very useful. A bit too real for what i'm looking for but different styles always have its roots from realism in some shape or form.

This looked so real that I've passed it like 5 times without caring because I needed it to be digital, oh my god I feel so dumb now I should just have looked at the bottom
But, yeah, that's how good it is, great job!!

I take it that these brushes aren't free anymore. I got them when they were and I had to switch Ps versions. In the process I lost them. Too bad. They were so useful.

CGCookie In reply to mla197 [2014-04-29 19:39:23 +0000 UTC]

The brushes used are from the metal brushes you can download on the site here: cgcookie.com/concept/resource/…

wait. I have to pay to become a "citizen" so I can download the brushes?????? I downloaded them last year and lost them when I changed my computer! D:

CGCookie In reply to Nina-Frost [2013-10-10 15:53:32 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, when we switched over to a new server and organized all of the resources on the site, we decided to group all metal brushes together which were Citizen brushes. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Just make your own... it's not like it's hard :/
And if you can't or don't want to... then be awesome and support the artist instead by paying for their product. :/

FellFallow In reply to AutumnHoney [2013-10-20 09:03:55 +0000 UTC]

She already did. Why would she pay for the again?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AutumnHoney In reply to FellFallow [2013-10-20 18:22:02 +0000 UTC]

For the same reason you would pay for anything else you've lost - Consumer responsibility.

Would you go to Home Depot and demand another hammer because you lost the one you bought last year? They'd look at you like you're retarded and have security escort you out.
If you pay for something, back it up. It's simple, responsible, and efficient.

I can't join in the damn cgcookie, it gives service errors when I try. can you upload the file somewhere else so I can download the brushes?

CGCookie In reply to nj-elvin [2013-10-07 16:24:40 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, maybe try going to the Concept portion directly: cgcookie.com/concept/ the brushes are on this page: cgcookie.com/concept/resource-…
