I can explain an easy, if not tedious, method of doing this: Make your

handwriting sample, put it a keyframe, and then Copy it and Paste it into a

keyframe inserted before, then erase some going backwards, repeat sequence,

and keep going until it's at the starting point. Lots of keyframes, yes, but

it's only pushing a vector graphic.
