My name may fool you, but I'm a girl too!  Named after my dad, Stanley Ray;
my first name is pronounced "stanny."

I like to hand color as well.  What do you use?  I've mostly used Marshall's
oils and pencils.  Usually I just spot-color part of the image, rather than
the whole thing.  I've also used water-based markers; the color is very
intense and almost neon.  The drawback is they leave a little dot where you
lift the marker from the paper.

The oils work on E-surface, but the pencils need something with more
texture.  My lab prints on a paper called RCR (resin-coated rough), by
Luminos, I think.  Pencils work well on this paper as long as you put some
PM Solution on the paper first.  Otherwise, the pencil marks don't smooth
out when you rub the colored areas in with some cotton.
