I changed the colors to make it look more like gold.

Using a reference might help.
Here's the first that came to my mind :P http://thebacklinkchecker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ 1307508317-82.jpg | |
 Your second set of colors were the best. I just made a small edit to the shape, and added some highlights. It looked a bit bulky. | |

Explanation: I used the second set of colors you used. I changed the shape slightly to make it look more like a sleek cup. I got rid of the jagged-lines, these tend to make the artwork look cluttered. The last thing I did was I added another light color. This light color is close to white and is in place for a nice shine look. I did some anti-aliasing as well.

looks like a yellow cup to me... OK when i said this i was talking about it just looks like a YELLOW CUP,nothing special.... TO MAKE SOMETHING SEEM LIKE STEEL/BRONZE/GOLD ect they need to have a shine.....  I am not a master but i know how to draw,been doing it since i was 7.Learn to study the objects you wanna draw pay atention to its dept,to how light and shade effects it,I know it might be hard to understand but here look at my example i changed the shape a bit,Akto has the idea,I changed the colors,i should have changed the base of cup as well to match with the rim(PS the rim of objects usually are main reflection areas so dont darken them with an outline) but im too lazy.Not a lot of color is needed to detail such a small object.I used 4colors +white(FYI white isnt considered a color just to let you know).If i were you i wouldn't give objects such a dark outline,i wouldn't but i gave it one little lighter since you have an outline.AA is a good technique to learn but i hate spending time doing it im a lazy artist.Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.-Bansky. My two cents PeAce. | |
