• Answer:

  Copying letters and designs is a good start, it helps you get a feel for the medium; how it works and what it can do. But now it sounds like you've got a decent grip on it and want to explore actual design part. There is no one way to do it, so try sketching designs on other mediums like paper and when you get something you like, try it with graffiti. Look up designs, drawings or photos that you like and then try them. Anywhere can be a good source, a magazine, a postcard, the library, doesn't matter. Practice, practice, practice. Grab a big board or a convenient surface and just go over and over and over it. If you do something you can't bear to get rid of, then get a new board and practice on it. But don't be afraid to redo. Making way for a new, potentially better piece is better than hanging on to an old one that you'll probably view as crappy later on. Also, experimentation is just as important as practice. Experiment, experiment, experiment. Not just in your style, but how you get that style. Try stencils, multiple layers, spray angles, straws, things to deflect the spray; doesn't matter what it is, if it works and you like it, it's good. Think up anything. Even if you think it's too weird or won't work, just try it at least once, you never know. Hope that helps.
