What I am doing wrong for smooth shifts?

This is my first manual car, so It's a learning process.

I noticed that went I shift from 1st to 2nd, to 3rd, at around 2k RPM, the shift is pretty smooth and I apply smooth gas as well minimally.

When I shift from 1st to 2nd at a higher rpm, like 3 or 4k, I get a bit more of the car engaging not smoothly. Is this because I have to give more gas to match the rpms when it is 3k +? I'd guess that around 2k I need to give it less gas as I disengage the clutch.

Also, is it normal for there to be slightly more resistance on the shift from 1st to 2nd as opposed to 2nd to 3rd?
