Guangzhou streets
A thing that always wonder me in Guangzhou (广州) are the number of road in the sky on most strests. The vehicles are of all kinds. bicycle, electric bicycle, tricycle with baggage placement, big blue trucks, small (European/Asian style) to big cars including SUV and berlins, the thousands of bus lines and pedestrians crossing streets anywhere.
About the colors, this is a mix between raw concrete of these sky roads and old buildings from 70’s or 80’s with lot of tropical plants, palm trees and other everywhere, even on the sky roads. The polluted atmosphere is really lowered by all this vegetation.
The following drawing is not finished and ugly this is a quick sketch made with Gimp using graphic tablet.
Here a video to better understand theses streets:

Gimp-2.5.1 enhanced graphics tablet management
The graphics tablet and movement management is greatly improved in Gimp-2.5.1, there are no several parameters for pressure, velocity and randomness can differently change effects on opacity, hardness, size and color. The little triangular icon, allow with a slider to change the parameter usage power with positives or negatives values.
It is also possible to save several configuration of the tool, choose them back or delete some.
