I have a question regarding renovation drywall 6.5mm on the ceiling. I did everything right as it should be, but it is still visible that it is uneven.

I have posted pictures before and after.

Putting such thin plaster on the ceiling is not the easiest to make look good later, but for the most part, it's just your lack of competence in spackling that shows.

Looks like the screws got too little putty, sometimes you need to putty twice or more. The strips seem to have air under them and have bubbled up. Common for those who are trying to putty strips for the first time.

Looks like the screws got too little filler, sometimes it needs to be filled two times or more. The strips seem to have gotten air under them and bubbled up. Common for those who try to fill strips for the first time

Does that happen if you press the strip into too thin a layer of filler?

As a complete amateur, I've learned that the first coat of paint is only to show where I've missed with the filler, the second coat is to reveal the smaller flaws and uneven areas I've missed, and it's only when I get to the third coat that I expect not to have to fill and sand before the fourth coat, but that doesn't always work out either.

My point is to keep working until you are satisfied with the result. The professionals cost a lot but usually get it right the first time, while we less talented/experienced ones have to waste a bit more paint, filler, and paper before it turns out good

Another tip is that when rolling your ceiling, switch directions with each stroke. So that strokes 2 and 4 are perpendicular compared to strokes 1 and 3. And so on.
