3. Show the dragon pattern and background, outline the texture and ornamentation, moire and flame of the dragon with a hard pen, and pay attention to the smoothness and change of lines. The background can be simple stippling or filling, not too complicated, so as to highlight the main image of the dragon.
4. According to the actual needs of coloring, the works can be colored with colored ink or watercolor when necessary to enhance the artistic effect.
