Making sketches appear as if being drawn!
Hi does anyone know the best way to do this? I want to be able to import a sketch and have it appear naturally, as if being drawn, but the tutorials i’ve found on write-on, vector etc. havn’t really helped me achieve this.
Could anyone give me some pointers?
Thanks a lot

Have you seen this one by Jayse Hansen, seems like if you dropped the scales changes it would be as if drawn.

I’ve actually done just this effect for the job i’m currently working at. The best way I found was to use the pen tool and semi mask off the drawing. What I mean by semi mask is to trace the outlines, but not with one continuous stroke. Trace chunks of the outline of the shape, in a order that would be believable as the order you drew it in.
Once you have those, use Effect>Generate>Stroke. In the options, check All Masks and Stroke sequentially, then go to the bottom and change Paint Style to Reveal Originial Image. From there just keyframe the End percentage. You may need to adjust the brush size, depending on the size of your drawing, but that should do it.
Hope this helps.
