  How to do an icon morph drawing effect?

  Posted by Kathryn Cassidy on December 21, 2015 at 11:56 pm

  Does anyone know how I would do something like this? Here’s an example of the effect (except my icons are more complex):

  Depending upon your shapes, you’re going to need quite a bit of experimentation to get what you want.
