Learn how to create a simple gold effect.

Step 1: First start off by creating a document 400 by 400 pixels and than hit the letter "D" on your keyboard to reset your colors. Now select your gradient tool. And use the settings that I have below.


Step 2: Now just start dragging lines all over till you get something crazy likes this.


Step 3: Now duplicate the layer and with the top layer selected go up to Filter -> Sketch -> Chrome. Use the default settings and hit OK. Now go up to Filter -> Brush Strokes -> Angled Strokes. And use the default settings and just hit OK. You should now have something like this.


Step 4: Now with the top layer still selected go up to Image -> Adjustments -> Levels (Ctrl + L). And mess with the settings until you get something like this, remember you should have two layers.


Step 5: Now with the top layer still selected. Go up to Image -> Adjustments -> Hue/Saturation. And use the settings I have below.


Step 6: Now set the top layers blending mode to Color Dodge. Now with the top layer selected, go up to Layer -> Merge Down (Ctrl + E). So you should now have this sexy piece of art on one layer. The End.
