I've been practicing aka-e for more than six years, but I don't feel I've improved as much as I'd hoped. I feel I'm still struggling with drawing thin lines.
Whenever I practice, I try to practice the exact same design on at least three porcelain pieces. My goal in aka-e is to make every thin line look uniform in thickness and quality, but achieving it is extremely hard.
I can see some thick lines here and there in my first piece, and I'm not happy with that.
My second piece doesn't look elegant because each line look too thick and rough. It was supposed to be better than the first one, but I ended up creating the wore piece.
My last piece looks better than my second piece, but some lines look still thick.
I think taking each piece's photo and comparing them is a great way to evaluate my work. It helps me look at my pieces more objectively and notice details that I might otherwise miss . I'd love to keep doing it to improve my skills.

What an incredible skill! Thank you for sharing your craft with us!
Very impressive. I'm not seeing any imperfections in any of the pieces, but then again, I don't know where to look. How long does it take to paint one piece?
I agree. I don’t see imperfections
I am always deeply impressed by the perseverance, patience, and attention to detail that go into creating your art. And I love your photos, which allow me to share in that process.
@Anne_Onymous_Sunshinedoreime Thank you for the correction and the comment. I'm happy to receive such a comment.
@quassnoi I'm not a perfectionist in lots of things, but I'm super strict to my artwork. I think I'm the creator, so I'm the only person who can see.
@CloudyDe I always appreciate you. You always read my posts and comment on these. Thank you so much!
