The texture of precious metals is smooth, even glossy, mirror like, it glares well and reflects nearby objects. Gold or silver can also be matte and can even have a grainy texture.

In the illustration, gold can be easily drawn with any artistic materials. But if you draw with markers, you need to stock up on a wide palette of yellow-brown shades, or gray if you draw silver.

The illustration is rendered with markers.

Let's take a step-by-step approach to conveying the texture of gold in a digital illustration, using a gold ball as an example:

1
Fill the ball with a generic light tone, in this case ochre.
2
Outline the semitones with a darker shade. Emphasize the shape of the ball with strokes. Lightly shade the borders.
3
With the darkest shade, outline all the dark areas on the ball. Draw reflective objects. In some points you can leave sharper borders, while in others you can shade them.
4
Draw a flare with the lightest shade of yellow, emphasizing the shape of the ball. Lightly shade the borders.
5
Show the glare with white color.
6
Add details: draw a reflection in accordance with the ball shape, and add color spots with a soft, translucent brush.
