Constant practice is need for you to improve.
But constant practice is not enough.
You also need to practise a lot each time you practise.
I drew this link between calligraphy and taiji before, and I now draw this link again.
Recently, to prepare for a calligraphy exhibition, I have been practising calligraphy a lot. A lot more than what I used to do. Plus I practised almost everyday (only skipped one day out of the week). The end product was something very much different from what I started out with. I improved. A lot. Within one week.
Thinking back, this is similar to my experience with taiji. I improve through constant practice. But when I practised more each time, the improvement was significantly more. I could sense progress, instead of taking months to realise that I have improved.
So don't just keep practising, but practise more each time too!
