This was my first complete skim job, and I'm struggling to remove the lines created by my knife. This wall wasn't completed yet so ignore the marks on the upper right corner. But any advice would be immensely helpful as I'm trying to better my skim coats and produce smooth, glass-like finishes.

watch the bend of the blade. look down the edge and mark handle. also i walk my mud left to right(right handed) with wet knife. then the last coat is pulled tight same way.

looks like you did a good first coat. scrape ridges off and skim it again.
