That's right, "NO SOUP FOR YOU!!! Come back one year!!!"
Just kidding, it's an UN-official ban, cause metallics take a lot of time to pull off successfully, and it's not my favorite thing to do, but this tute might fix all that, so I may have to stop whining. 
And just do them...

Hmm...
Its a TA! 
yes yes it is TA
LOL @ the comment on metallics...
Me and you are like, TOTALLY opposite on this...I do metallics every chance I get while shying away from other stuff. IMHO, metallic/shiny stuff is the easiest...main rule of thumb for drawing metallic structure is basically, freakishly high amounts of contrast.
A decent tutorial on metallics:

Now, while this article is intended for painting miniatures the techniques for 2D drawing is basically the same. It might help you.

Thanks it's not that I can't do them, it's the fact that they usually take me forever if added on to a normal non-metallic piece... but I am confident my latest tute find, will help me break on
through to the other side....

Trying out a new metal tute I found last night, that looks perty darn easy, so I thought I'd test it on everyone's favorite art *****... who just happens to be 90% metal.
If this works I may be lifting my personal ban on doing metallics... more to come eventually...
