DIY - custom ‘door art’? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone got some ideas on how to create your own? I’m looking for ideas, but I have no drawing talent, so hoping you guys know of some ways to create art from stencils, etc. Probably need to get creative with the ol’ airbrush. I do have some JPEG images to start with, just need to add the text and stuff.
Not sure how to make a stencil for a door that’s a lot bigger than a sheet of paper. My GF has a Cricut machine, but I have no clue how to use it - need to do some research, I guess.
Anyone here got their own methods?

A friend of mine did the following method with great results. He said he followed the steps exactly. It looked really nice. He later sold the truck so I don't have a pic of it.
