Thanks! Yeah it is difficult in the beginning to get the proportions right. But you get a feel for it after a while. Also it makes it easier if you take a step back once in a while to get an overview. I always work from a hand drawn sketch and if you're doing a legal production with a few other people you'd plan everything on paper first, like colors, where the pieces are going to be, how big, etc etc. People who do trains and other illegal stuff don't really use sketches as you don't have time for that and it's mostly more simple letter styles so they'd do it "freestyle".

@ chris:

Yeah I'm part of a group or "crew" which is the more used term in graffitti. It's just a bunch of people who likes painting together.
