SVG line animation first erasing and then drawing - html

Question

I want my animation to work as https://codepen.io/shshaw/pen/Hjyio like drawing the image from scratch. But what my animation is doing that first it's erasing the picture and then drawing again.
path {
fill: #FFF;
stroke: #000;
animation: my_animation 3s linear forwards;
stroke-dasharray: 400;
}
#keyframes my_animation {
0% {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
50% {
stroke-dashoffset: 400;
}
100% {
stroke-dashoffset: 0;
}
}

Any help or suggestion so it starts to draw only instead of first erasing it also how to fill it with colour at last ?

Answer 1

Set the starting keyframe to start with stroke-dashoffset: 400 or simply add it to the path rules, and use a separate animation for filling:
path {
fill: #fff;
stroke: #000;
animation: my_animation 3s linear forwards, filling .5s linear 3s forwards;
stroke-dasharray: 400; /* need to ... */
stroke-dashoffset: 400; /* ... match */
}
#keyframes my_animation {
to {stroke-dashoffset: 0}
}
#keyframes filling {
to {fill: #000}
}
