I've been practicing my weakness for a while. I'm not good at drawing fine lines with a thin, round brush, so I decided to create three plates with fine lines. I finished my first plate, so I'd like to share it with you here.
As always, I took some step-by-step photos, so I'd like to show how I painted it. Each plate has four circles with a different bird in the center.
After finishing drawing all lines, I added some traditional Japanese patterns.
Then, I added colors.
I like painting both sides of plates, so I painted the back side as well.
This is my second plate. The bird in the center is different from the first plate.
I finished painting all the colors, and the only thing left to do was to add the gold details.
I realized that the bird part had too much empty space, so I added lots of gold dots. I also added more flowers in my second plate's bird part. My first plate isn't bad, but I still think I need more practice. Now, I'm working on my second plate. Once I finish it, I'll show it to you here.
I hope my second plate will turn out a little bit prettier than my first one.

It looks amazing! I remember painting cups for my colleagues just writing their names and the lines are all wobbly and shaky. You already have a quite steady hand.
Nice to meet you! Thank you! It's not good enough to sell.
That's beautiful!!!! I was showing the pictures to my partner, too, and he thought you were painting a giant plate, but it's so small! The detail is amazing! :)
@Shauna Thank you for the encouragement. I'll put more effort to achieve my goal.
