Right, i've been given a task by my 5yo son but i'm not really sure where to start so I thought i'd ask about here!

My son (Mason) is going to have his bedroom decorated soon and he has been asked what sort of colours he wants. He has asked for cream walls but he wants some pictures painted on his walls. BUT(!) he doesn't want Disney/Cartoon pics, he wants the following:

Mercedes Sprinter van
Arctic (pref Scania)
F1 car
Nova
Supercar
Train
Recovery truck
and possibly more....

Now I used to be a quite good artist at school but have lot the touch now i'm 26, so what I was thinking of is if I can get some decent line drawings off the 'net then i'll print them out, have them enlarged and copy them to his walls using carbon paper.

I've had a look on Google to find suitable images but have drawn a blank. What i'm really after is semi-detailed 3/4 views of the above, not too detailed but detailed enough that they can be recognised by him and painted easily enough.

Sorry if i'm asking too much, it would be a nice surprise if I could do this for him!

Cheers in advance,
Paul (& Mason!!)

Go to your local secondary school and have them printed on acetate (sp) and the project them onto the walls, then paint/draw over and fill in.

Scania 143 V8 with Twin Eminox exhausts on the biggest wall on the room towing a Nova Sport on a low-loader

That would be minted :D

I think the issue is finding suitable pics, not how to get them on the wall.

I'd search for promo shots of the vehicles, i.e. ones with plain backgrounds. Stick the pictures into PSP or photoshop and use a few filters to create a line drawing style of pic (PSP has edge enhance filters, not sure about photoshop as I don't use it), then go from there.

Ye i know but i thought it would be the easiest way, i once did it as part of a art project and it came out very well.

Tbh with the pic's its just keep looking till you find what you need, try the manufacturers websites :thumb:
