More details instruction. You can change your hand image, your own art and define where the pen tip is.

Video Demo
You know those animated videos with a hand drawing/doodling things for Youtube videos... Like instructional, or even internet marketing videos...
Now you can basically create such animation:
sample output version 4:

sample output version 5:

Version 5 allows you to paint on an existing mask so that you can reveal finished art (or coloring).

Version 7.
Options to add animation of transitioning IN (from outside of whiteboard), BETWEEN shapes, and OUT (of whiteboard at the end).

Of course, you can replace the drawing hand with a hand that's holding a coin and you create "Scratch and win" animations.

I had some time to play with this again. It's a great plugin for washing windows.

OK, last one. This makes writing with a feather pen a breeze.

I started a topic for people to contribute to public domain animations and video makers can use...that's the idea anyways.
I started with some animations that any can string together to come up with their own.

Awesome update :yes

Thanks again Tim.
One handmade path, based on Bickley Script. Because the Hershey plug-in creates a mess.

Nice quill pen work racer-x and Nidhogg.

Nidhogg, Your awesome is lovely handwriting.
The only Scriptina font I've come across is this one
https://www.dafont.com/scriptina.font
which isn't the same, did you adapt it or is there another Scriptina font?

I'll just park this here:

Nice Volkswagen Beetle teapot. The font was Bickley Script, not Scriptina.

Excellent work on that Beetle, teapot. I decided to draw a 69 Charger Daytona.

Nidhogg, Very cool horror writing in blood. Thanks for the font name, it's a keeper.

racer-x, Great drawing, it really looks done by pencil. Have to admit the Beetle was done by autotrace centerline tracing and then lots of path processing using Ofnuts path tools. The original is from a font.
