It’s now time to bring your drawing to life with some animation! Using your finger, tap to select your drawing once, then press Animate on the floating toolbar. This will bring up the animation bar at the bottom of your screen, where you’ll have the option to add three different types of action. First, let’s add a Build In effect. Tap on that option and choose Line Draw. You’ll see a preview immediately, showing your drawing coming to life in front of your eyes. Once you’re happy, press the X in the lower-left corner to exit that screen. Next, let’s add a Build Out effect to make your artwork disappear. You’ve guessed it—choose Line Draw again. Tap the X to exit the effect options. Now, on the action bar at the bottom of your screen, you should see Line Draw for your Build In, nothing in the middle, and Line Draw for your Build Out at the end. That’s exactly what you want! Now, tap on the first Line Draw (for the Build In). Here, we’ll tweak a couple of settings: 1. Tap on Start and set it to After Transition. 2. Make sure there’s no delay—you want it to start as soon as your slideshow plays. Then, go back and adjust the Acceleration setting. This controls the speed of the drawing animation. Set the acceleration to None for a consistent speed. Tap back to save your settings. Now, let’s configure the Build Out action. 1. Set the animation start to After Previous Event. 2. Add a slight delay if you’d like your portrait to stay on the screen for a few seconds before disappearing—I’ll go with a 4-second delay. Finally, adjust the Acceleration setting here as well, setting it to None. With both animations set up, exit the animation screen and press the Play button at the top of Keynote to preview your artwork. It should look fantastic, with your drawing appearing as if you’re sketching it in real time. It will pause for a moment, then disappear as if you’re erasing it. Pretty cool, isn’t it? Take a moment to add your animations, and when you’re ready, we’ll move on to step number five!
