Import an image to which your drawing will relate into the top layer
Import a gradient created in Photoshop into the bottom layer
Highlight the top layer
Using the paint brush at the top menu, set the paint color to black and create a long, continuous stroke/squiggle.
Open the Effects/paint brush in the timeline
In Stroke Options, choose Start
Keyframe the start point in one position at the beginning of the file and in another position at the end of the file (the drawing will either draw on – accumulate – or off – disappear).
Play back the animation.
Apply a Key and set the threshold so that the gradient shows through your drawing
Animate the gradient
