Metal nut

[ngairoti]

I have been trying to bring out a metalic texture on things that I draw. Coments and advice are welcome BP, thank you for your advice. I have tried to go a bit further.

If you want the drawing to appear metal like, I would use lighter colors and add just a touch of color to the grays. Usually a Hue 260, a violet, with almost no saturation will provide a richer metal color.

Or a very unsaturated green.

Hi
I don't much go in for bright shiny things very much but I thought I'd have a go.

Great attempt on the mettalic look.

Masque's got it too.

It looks good.

Thanks to all for your input. Still to work on handling colour.
