Drawing Animation

[buzzbeesi]

Hiya. I've just got KoolMoves and am beginning to get to grips with it. I'd like to create an animation where a line is drawn on screen, does anyone know how to do this? Thankyou very much!

Draw a line in one frame, copy the shape to the next frame, and move the end point of the line, and so forth.

Thanks for your help, but the trouble is, I want the line to curl at the end. Any suggestions on how to do that? If you're unsure what i mean heres an awful attempt at drawing one...

Imagine that "line" being drawn as if by a pen in an animation. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks a lot!

Under menu bar Points is Append to Line.

Use the Add Curve tool to add a curve point.

I suggest that you view the drawing tutorial on the support page at www.koolmoves.com

Maybe you can just draw your line and cover it with a shape the same color as your background, then just move the shape to reveal the line as if it is drawing itself.
