ASMR Cute animal noses - No talking - Painting, tapping, scratching, calligraphy - Quiet & relaxing

The animal kingdom is full of cute noses. This sketch shows the nose designs that nature created for...

cats
dogs
racoons
cows
rabbits
foxes
pandas
capybaras

... and with the help of some dip pens and metallic inks they sparkle nicely on black paper.

Because the noses were somehow minimalistic and iconic, they looked like a coat of arms from different family houses in a fantasy universe. I added some casual calligraphy to name each of them. The process is somehow irregular and clumsy, as I was testing those nibs and inks. But the sensation of tapping and scratching the paper while exploring the designs was nevertheless pleasant.

Next time I'm catsitting, I will boop my friend's cat's cute nose thoroughly.

What is ASMR?
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and it is a form of paresthesia (that tingling sensation that happens on your skin sometimes, and yes the typical pins and needles that sometimes people feel on their skin are also a form of paresthesia), often starting on the head and moving down spine and rest of the body like a wave, commonly known as "tingles". ASMR is usually triggered by audio or visual stimuli, and the triggers are diffeernt for every individual person. Researching ASMR is difficult, but from the neurology side it is already known that the brain areas stimulated are the medial prefrontal cortex (associated with social behaviors) and the secondary somatosensory cortex (associated with the sensation of touch). Not everyone experiences ASMR, but exploring varied potential triggers and the work of different ASMRtists sometimes helps. Even people who do not feel "the tingles" may listen or watch ASMR content to help them relax, sleep, and even get into a meditative state as ASMR content is usually pleasant and peaceful, promoting resting and wellbeing.
