Yes, just eyeballing. Main goal is to just relax and have fun and see what emerges. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I have a method though which helps, I'm careful which lines I place in which order. For example if there's a strong perspective in the picture then I place two key lines somewhere on either side of the picture as early as possible, that way I can "in-between" the other lines as I go, and have them end up fanning more or less consistently, at least enough to give a perspective effect.
If I was publishing this I'd probably clean up some of the sray lines where things get a bit too wonky, but I wouldn't go too far, because that's not really the style. A bit of wobliness is nice, it gives a lived-in feel. Of course if you get too much, then everything just looks...wobbly!
I'm not a believer in over-rulering, although I'm not against using a ruler here and there. It all depends on the style effect you want. Usually the reason rulered stuff goes wrong is still some basic mistakes like not sticking to a horizon line, and not modifying the perspective at all to accomodate the needs of the design.
