Photographs of genuine Comanche (Nemene) lodges show that the majority were completely undecorated, except for being blackened at the top by smoke from the central fire. This is true of most Plains tribes - decorated tipis were extremely rare (perhaps accounting for less than 5 in every 100) and signified the lodge of a powerful chief or medicine man, or the holder of a sacred pipe or medicine bundle.

For that reason there is almost no detailed information on the internet about Comanche tipi decoration, and very little published in books. The artist and explorer George Catlin painted a single picture showing a painted Comanche tipi - this was certainly the home of the keeper of a sacred pipe, since one is featured in the painted design (see link below).

If you want to draw an accurate picture of a genuine and typical Comanche tipi, then make it perfectly plain and undecorated apart from blackening around the top of the cover to represent smoke staining.
