Create an animated decorator for the grease pencil object such as an underline or an ellipse.

If you draw on a grease pencil object, you can automatically animate it by clicking the "Reanimate" button. Strokes will be drawn in the order they were created. The result is similar to what happens when a Build Modifier is applied to the grease pencil, except that pauses between stokes are added to emulate the hand drawn effect.

Select a tracer object and click trace. The tracer object's X and Y position will change to keep up with the animated grease pencil as it is being drawn.
