Sometimes a picture calls for something metal to be more than just grey scale,
wheather you're drawing a car, a colorful interior (or even exterior) for a
spaceship, or anything else where you want some colored metal there is a simple
way to create that texture.
Things you'll need:
computer with graphics software (I use gimp)
your own creativity
1. Open a new file and fill in a layer
2. Create a new layer
3. Select the blend tool choose a gradient either black blended into white or
white blended into black
4. On the new layer appy the gradient
5. Lower the oppacity on the layer with the gradient (50% or so works most of
the time but depending on the picture you might need something higher or
lower)
6. If you want the metal to apear to shine from a different angle then your
best option is to repeat step 4 until you are staisfied
You've now created a colorful metal texture to color in part of an outline you
select the area you want to color in before steps 1 and 4
