The Need For Gold

December is always the time of year when you are suddenly in need of gold.

Goldtext and golden gradients for christmas and new years eve.

I find gold a lot harder to make than chrome, and there arent many good tutorials online.

Luckily we are in the age of flat design which makes things a bit easier, because we dont have to struggle with complicated texteffects. So no bevels, shadows and glows, just a basic golden texteffect.

With this in mind, it all comes down to gradients once again and we all know Gimp's gradient editor is a bit intimidating.

But fear not, here is an easy tutorial.

The Fountain

The Wobble

A little something i made after discovering the work of Florian Schommer.

Dotted background made with tiled Clones (a random Shift).

Wobbly outline made with Pattern along Path and some strategic splits of the textpath.

Whats up partner ?

Here i tried to convert a pencil drawing into vectors by re-building it with shapes and making it look more iconic, then inking the outlines with "brushstrokes" as seen in Jason Secrest's Youtubechannel.
