How To Make Whiteboard Animation (of a hand drawing text or picture)
# --------------------------------------------------------------
    Just google for "Whiteboard Animation Software" 
    (or doodle animation)

    Note: word "doodle" means "an aimless or casual scribble, 
    design, or sketch", "chicken scratch"
    In Russian - "karakuli" = "scribble"
