this is probably not the most efficient way of doing it, but i did something like this awhile ago.
The way i did it was to export a targa sequence at (x)fps(i used 25fps, but it is up to you, the higher the frame rate the more work for you). i then imported these into p.shop and traced the edges with a textured brush, discarded the original footage layer then reimported the frames. you end up with a shaky line drawing which can be as detailed as you wish.
Another option could be to do the same but use the filters inside of photoshop, ie a cutout filter with a crosshatch or similar overthat?
not sure what exactly you want it to look like as there are many different styles of ‘hand drawing’?
hope this helped in some way, but i am sure that there is a plugin that could help achieve this look, cos i am certainly not a genius!

There is a plugin that does this in petes plugins(free), which are free, but it may not quite achieve the realism you require.

Or time remapping
just stretch out the one frame that you want over as long as you want, with a keyframe either side.

Petes plugins which are free are always of use too, but i would rate the trapcode plugins highly.

Does it still work when you invert the black background version that you did?

Did you make them with the gradient?
(i am not sure if they are supposed to be saved as individual strokes or as the complete image? sounds like it is supposed to be one complete file)
Assuming you did then import them into AE, put them below a white solid as stated.
Put a gradient wipe onto the white layer as shown.
Make the bottom layer the track matte for the layer above…
And take it from there

PS if you get stuck the screen shots are really helpful in the ayato tutorials. some of them have taken me ages to do and it has just turned out to be one switch wrong or something simple, but stick at it and they usually work 😉
