This is a tutorial on how to animate the effect of hand writing text. You can use this to animate a character drawing a picture, writing a letter or use it as an effect to show something getting scrubbed of. It requires a little bit of masking, tracing,the stroke exposure tool and the follow path tool.

Working with After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator, composite our character together with some scene assets and effects. We also add sound effects cuz their are sweet.

While you could build a mouth without a mask, this tutorial shows you a quick way to achieve easy mouth movements with a vector mask layer. From here, you can then build your character and even create actions for the mouth phonemes.

Here, we will learn how to create a custom brush and apply it to create a loop-able background.
