I know I've seen it discussed somewhere but I'm wondering what are the best copic colors to use for coloring faces and body parts?

I use EOO.
I should shade them, but usually don't so that's the only one I use.

I use YR00. I'm sure it's not the best one but it's what I use.

Personally, I tend to use E00 and E51, plus R20 for cheeks/blush

RV42 is my favourite Copic colour, but I have never used it for cheeks. I use it a lot for dresses and flowers

I'm new here but saw this and thought I'd jump right in... My faves for skin are E000, 00, 01 and a diluted R20 (diluted with R00 refill ink)
I color a lot and have lots of cute Magnolia and CC Designs images on my blog... http://expressionswithheart.wordpress.com
Lots of ATC's under my ATC category, I love the distress/vintage look so I have some of that here and there. Hard to have a favorite with so much wonderful stamping inspiration out here in blogland!

I'm not even into Copics and I thought this was an interesting thread. Cool to see all the different ways y'all look at coloring. Maybe someday.

I watched a You Tube yesterday from LaBlanche stamps and she was coloring with Ranger nibs and Distress inks... very, very cool... so much creativity out there! I remember years ago Liz Sewald coloring with the nibs and Adirondak pads... she's the one that came up with the cut 'n dry pads ideas and making your own ink pad...amazing!
