  Hand Drawn Effect?

  Posted by Lloyd Hagan on February 16, 2009 at 5:10 pm

  I have a countdown project for my after effects class. The project consists of an arm where tattoos appear and disappear in a sequence I have made a countdown animatic for it using a linear wipe effect for the appearance of it being drawn on to the arm. However it realy doesn’t look all that good. What I want to know is there an effect I can use for the final that would make it look more realistic. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks.

  One way to go is to animate them on using the Write-On effect. You’d probably have to trace over the tattoos using the pen tool and then write-them-on. Don’t forget to use appropriate transfer modes so they keep the texture of the skin.
