I am painting my sons room in a camouflage theme. The whole room will be done in a sandish, desert color; then I am going to paint camouflage patterns on certain areas of the walls. I need help figuring out how to draw the camo patterns. There are patterns online but only for vehicles and figurines. I am right in the middle of this project as we speak and I need help!!!.....Thanks

Color has as much to do with it as the pattern. Make sure you use the correct colors, if you want it to be authentic.

I think your son will be blown away by your project! Good luck with it.

I really wish I could help more, but do you have any camo clothing around the house? I would think that would help, but if you don't, try using the vehicle camo patterns you found on the internet. Like I said, I really wish I could be more help! Just remember to use a pencil first, so if you don't like your design, you don't have much to worry about!

What my best friends mom did, And came out perfect, was...
she painted the wall a dark green. and on top, she used a sea sponge and sponged on top light greens, brown, and tan all over the dark Green. now, the bedroom had hard wood floor and it was AWSOME PLUS, Mistakes are IMPOSSIBLE to make!

If your son has camo pajamas, he'll disappear altogether!
I was shopping with my daughter in a department store and she said, "Hey, did you see the camoflage waste baskets?" I told her no, and she whispered, "Neither can I..."

Nice planning. Ask questions half way through. Did you work for the guy who worked on my house?
