Stepping Cards

I was walking on a path made of playing cards. The cards lay face-down and when you stepped on one, it would turn over and reveal a very intricate drawing. There were cities and nature scenes. Some were people and others were more abstract. I picked one up to closer inspect the detail. It was a colored pencil illustration of a perfect circle turned into a very stylized little man seen from profile. He had large eyes, an open mouth with large teeth, black hair and brown skin. I brought the card closer to my face to really inspect the detail. It was incredible. The whole drawing was done in a cross hatch style, many colors laid over one another. It appeared to be completely three dimensional, as if you could reach through the netting of pencil marks, down and down into the surface. Olive green, burnt sienna, crimson, indigo blue.
