I was wondering if anyboyd knew of any tutorials that would help me learn this. If you dont know what it is… or I’m not clear enough… When the movie starts say… there is a pencil or paintbrush that draws something… and as it moves the object appears. I’ve read a few tutorials that dont work or arent complete and from what I hear you need to have a mask layer and guide layer, just not sure how to put it all together.

Thanks
