html - How can I make the SVG animation seamless and smooth?

Question

I have animated the SVG, to give a handwriting effect, I want to make the animation more seamless, as the letter "W" appears in the animation, it makes the other part of the letter appear as well, and I can't decrease the stroke-width as the rest of the part of the letter will not appear completely, please guide me along on what can be done.

As I cant upload the code here its SVG and exceeding more than 35,000 characters, so please do check the CodePen.

Answer 1

This is how I would do it:

I'm using a polyline element that I am clipping with a V like path. In order to make the W I'm using the clipped polyline twice. I am animating the stroke-dashoffset of the use elements, the second element with a 1s delay

svg{width:300px;border:solid}

use{
  stroke-dasharray: 255;
  stroke-dashoffset: 255;
   animation: dash 1s linear forwards;
}
use:nth-of-type(2){
 animation-delay:1s
}

@keyframes dash {
  to {
    stroke-dashoffset: 0;
  }
}

<svg viewBox="30 80 250 150">
  <defs>  
  <clipPath id="clip">
  <path id="V" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" d="M52,90L103,210 110,210 160,90 152,90  110,190 66,90 52,90" stroke="black" fill="none" />
  </clipPath>
  
  <polyline id="poly" points="58,85 107,203 156,85" stroke="red" fill="none" stroke-width="19" clip-path="url(#clip)" />
  
  </defs>
  
  <use xlink:href="#poly" x="0" />
  <use xlink:href="#poly" x="50" />
  

</svg>
