attached is a line drawing that I want to animate like I am drawing it…

I would love any suggestions on the easiest way to do this… Starting at the top and “drawing” the line…

I understand masks and guides… ect but I can’t figure how to “draw the line”  
But I have seen this kind of detail in other sites…  
Thanks for any ideas — I am VERY stumped… ☹
