Gold is... interesting. It absorbs light, but reflects more than enough to be able to have a mirror-esque finish. Soft and malleable, easily dulled and dented, but capable of a fine shine.
These may look "okay" at a casual glance, and maybe I'm my own worst critique
[no internet, that is not a challenge], but there's something about these that doesn't feel right to me, and I'm not sure what. Going to try and get one more attempt done before class tomorrow, maybe finally nail it down.
This is shading with colours, instead of lightening or darkening an already coloured section.
And this is using the lighten / shadow brush in MS5. The shadow brush takes a really light touch to us it without 'burning' the colour.
Update:
A 3rd attempt - about 50% done, ran out of time before class [and dinner]. I like this one much better, but it's still not where I want it to be [but I think I may have found some brushes that'll get me closer to it]
]EDIT[
Here's the 3rd attempt - finished.
