drawn on type / illustrations
I’m trying to acheive a very common effect- to make a script style font appear as if it is being drawn on by hand.
I’ve done this before with some vector line illustrations by using loads of masks to reveal the image bit by bit, but this took ages and i wondered if there was an easier and quicker way?um, yeah!

Not really. The problem is that fonts describe the outlines of characters, not the strokes one would use to create them by hand.
The method I usually employ is to use the Paint Brush tool to draw the strokes (as opposed to creating masks with the Stroke effect applied, though in the end they’re basically the same thing), then setting the type layer as a matte for the paint layer, and animating the stroke’s start/end points.
