If you are asking whether using stencils will make it easier to paint them, yes. I would cut stencils from the pics you posted to at least establish the outlines and freehand the rest of the color from there.

If I misread and didn't answer your question, please elaborate. :)
 
printout on paper cut out main shape to establish landmarks the freehand from there, using shields / stencils is not frowned upon, use what ever gets you the result you need
straight projection onto a wall is also do-able
 
If it's for a bedroom wall I guess you're wanting to do it pretty big like a mural?

Now, I've never done this sort of work so take my advice with a pinch of salt but I imagine cutting out stencils big enough might be tricky depending what equipment/supplies you have.

I think I'd try projecting the image and making a faint pencil outline first, or if no projector making a grid and freehanding the image in that way.

Just my thoughts.......
