2) Possibly things like Mecha, Monsters or Kenonomimi? They are recognised classics in manga and would go a long way with the fantasy/sci-fi enthusiasts. Some techniques like shading weren't covered so that would be a huge help.
3) Personally, I would want beginners. But bearing in mind that there is more people at an advanced stage, I will say to aim for a 50-50. Or have the best of both worlds for the reader and do one half of the book with the basics and divide the other half for advanced readers. Of course this means more work, but you are the author/artist so it is you that has the final say.
4)I have seen the first book, and as well as it being informative and helpful, it was a damn good read for an instruction book.

A fight is not won with a single hit. Learn to endure or hire a bodyguard
I fear not the man who practices 10000 kicks once, but the man who practices 1 kick 10000 times.
Maybe a step by step on characters from a reverse pose or poses that show their back or their upper body turned in one direction of another.
Shading (lighting and texture), particularly on the hair, would be nice. The more simple vs the realistic gradient like shading, highlights, lowlights etc.
Maybe a small mention/advice on how to make your characters unique would be nice too. A lot of the times i look at mine or another person's drawings, and think...hey its generic anime girl. Like what kind of elements can you change to give them pop or personality beyond hair style (like jewelery, tattoos, hair pieces, scars, etc), or even in their manner/bearing.

I wish... I wish.... I dunno, and don't ask again, --- Why, you ask? I TOLD YOU SHUT UP.
I bought my Mastering Manga couple months ago and thought Amazon.com wouldnt send to my country; so I sent to my mother's friends in Canada. Well, they look like they're quite busy, because they couldnt send me my book yet. I'm really anxious
Anyway, I've been trying to draw following different artist's steps, to find my way on how to draw, to find my style. I'm quite good with Oda-sensei style, so I passed to the newest Rumiko Takahashi's manga - InuYasha. She uses different tecnics to show degradee colors. I mean, when she wants something dark, she uses a lot of little dots instead of just inking lighter. I would like to see this different way of inking.
Also, she uses that straight lines to show movement. I'd like to see that too, how to show that something is moving, is attacking, etc. Also I'd love nature and background elements, like rain, forest, rivers (I have a problem drawing water)...
I think you can be always ballanced. I am a fan of shonen and I'd also like a advanced book, but there's people that enjoy the shojo and need the basics yet. So, yeah, balance.
Sorry for long post or something that's already in the first book.
Thanks for everything, Mark-sensei!!
1.the use of different manga/comic frames & effects.
2.real life anatomy compared to manga anatomy with detail.
3.environments & landscapes.
4.animals & mythical creatures.
5.advanced poses & character models.
6.textures & wrinkles in clothes & other materials beside clothes.
If you already got it in the other book don't worry about it that much. All I want is an advanced version of it if you did.

Learn to learn & better too understand the greater the soul.
a jack of trades can never become an ace, but to become a ace you must first be a jack & the world has aces.
1) I would've liked to see a bigger section on clothes. You show wrinkles and stuff pretty well in your videos, but I'd like to see a more in depth look at different types of fabrics.
2) A more detailed section on backgrounds and environments would be cool. I remember seeing the section showing a finished page of Brody's Ghost, after all the steps, and I thought "Wow, I want to learn how to draw the kind of detailed backgrounds like this one". It was really impressive.
3) I felt like there wasn't enough emphasis on how to draw hair, especially long/really long hair. There was a few pages showing hairstyles, but not enough going through how to make them.
4) I feel like the next book should be a little more advanced, but not too much. Mostly just adding even more detail. The different types of people seemed a little plain to me (which I understand because there has to be a starting point) but maybe a focus on general body types and ages with more of a focus on poses and positioning would be nice.
I liked Mastering Manga a lot, don't get me wrong. I'll buy the second book if it gets made, but I feel like there could be a little more detail.
maybe you could go more in depth with hairstyle tips, or making noise? Or maybe even the proportion styles?
