I get a LOT of pleasure from watching people do pencil sketches. The sensation is similar to having the nape of your neck lightly brushed or stroked. Is there is a name for this manifestation?

    Good for you! A lot of us like being watched when we draw. It doesn't usually bother.

    Sometimes I get a similar feeling if someone handles something of mine. That sounds rude... I mean an inanimate object! I can see why you might get a similar feeling from people sketching. I would if it was MY pencil they were using!? I get it a bit if people touch my hair too. It can't be that abnormal, can it? : /

    That's quite odd, but doesn't necessarily seem like a bad thing.

    I'm pretty sure you're referring to ASMR. Look it up. : )

    No idea, but I like it too. I have a friend who does caricatures, usually just in work breaks. Whatever artistic talent I think I may have, he reminds me that my skills are probably in other areas and I should give up on the idea that I could ever do anything creative. Watching him draw someone we both know is like having them revealed to you by a superior mind. Watching him draw a portrait of yourself is like watching someone give birth to you. There aren't words.
