Drawing Swirls...

I know I wanna do a drawing thing-a-magic with my assessment, and, after exploring the write-on animation effect Paul told me about, found it a bit tedious that I've got to add a text layer and all before I can do my drawing.

So, decided to hunt around for more info on how to do that drawing thingy...

And came across this site:

Simple instructions, simple way to do my drawing thing!

Here's a practice vid to show how it looks like after following all the steps...
