My wife recently got deal on a set of paint pens (she'd had her eye on them for a while and snagged them for like $16), and I decided to try them out. So far they've been working pretty well, good for simple detail work without the cleanup of brushes. For Ironhide I went in on the inside of his windshield, and all in all I think he turned out okay, although I do think I did much better with Prime.
Not OP, but I use these: Uni-posca Paint Marker Pen - Extra Fine Point - Set of 12 (PC-1M12C) and this Mann Lake One Handed Catcher, Queen
I'm not a painter at all so I took somebody's advice on BGG, primed everything black and then basically drew on the color with these paint pens. The one I used I think was either a eight or ten pack but they worked brilliantly and, apart from being time consuming, I ended up with something pretty nice. The raised lines on the gear keeps the surface tension of the paint from spilling off in most cases and it really just becomes an exercise in tracing lines with a steady hand.
I'm away from home for the week so I can't snap you a picture but if you're curious I can send you one next week so you can see how it came out.
I’m an avid rock painter and can help. Acrylic paint is best. Also, Posca pens are awesome for finer details.
Thanks for the compliments! :) As for the paints, just gotta find the right ones that don't crack the paint pens and make sure the sealant doesn't affect the base paint AND the paint pens >> it's quite a hassle. I paint the base color, she uses the pens and I seal the project and mod the GB itself.
Just need to do some reasearch and you'll find some good info I'm sure :) sorry I can't be much more helpful than that lol
Snapped this this morning while having my morning coffee before work
edit: I use these paint pens for edging and painting meeples (like Food Chain Magnate)
You can take them apart by just drilling out the rivets, and I just use spray paint for the base color. You can use some kind of paint stripper (can grab some from your local hardware store or walmart, but something like this) to remove the paint that is on there if you want, but it's not completely necessary, just make sure you do light coats of spray paint so it sticks nicely.
For the details I use paint pens but you could probably use any paint with fine paint brushes.
Then i finish with a glossy enamel clear coat spray, and just be careful not to spray it on too thick or it can make the paint run or bubble up a bit.
Aside from just "how to do it" some tips:
You know what I used to clean up my free hand writing work?

Paint pens! Make sure they are SUPER fine and it's really laughable how easy it is to get a nice result!
I remember a TED talk where Deborah Gordon talked about using "Japanese paint markers" to identify individuals in a colony. A really cool talk: LINK
Based on a search on Amazon, this may be a good start? Water based, non-toxic, water proof: LINK
Disclaimer: have not done this first hand.
Thanks. I just got these paint pens and they are lots of fun!
BTW- not entering just sharing new art
Honestly, most of my journals only have 5-10 sentences per page. I do a lot of collage, drawing, and abstract painting.
Here's what I suggest:
Buy some cheap liquid watercolors and some [sponges] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VF2KEAI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). You can do backgrounds on every page before you start. This helped me build the habit of nightly journaling, and removed the fear of "ruining" a page. Any parts that I didn't like I could collage over!
Start using your own photos as much as possible. One of the easiest ways to do an image transfer is to alter an image on the computer, then print it out on an ink jet printer. I use cheap-ass photo paper for this, while the photo is fresh. Spray it with water, then put face-down and rub it into the page. (A rubber brayer is nice, but a used gift card or other hard object would be fine.)
Did you know that you can buy bulk stickers from [Amazon???] (https://www.amazon.com/DreamerGO-Graffiti-Transparent-Motorcycle-Skateboard/dp/B01M9FHC08/ref=pd_sim_21_11?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01M9FHC08&pd_rd_r=YGCTQJHQC1ZBD807ASAQ&pd_rd_w=ESCUg&pd_rd_wg=E85wC&psc=1&refRID=YGCTQJHQC1ZBD807ASAQ)
I also suggest making a to-go bag. If you make your backgrounds at the beginning of the week, or before you start the journal, this makes it extra easy. Mine has:
I often use my journal to annotate from books (I used to do it INSIDE the books, but I found them difficult to read with any new clarity that way, and I'm trying to move to digital.) Since I mostly read self-help/improvement books, that made some great starting points for prompts.
