How is this "sketch to color" transition done?

Hi everyone! 😊 I'm relatively new to editing and just started using DaVinci Resolve. I'm aiming to create a specific animation style for my lectures, and I came across this beautiful effect on YouTube that I would love to try and recreate. I was hoping to get some advice from the experts here or at least have someone point me toward the basic techniques involved so I can get a head start since I have no clue if this is a preset of some kind or an AI tool.

The specific effect they starts right around 0:23 and they keep using it on various images throughout the video:

Basically, the image starts out looking like a bare sketch and then the full color smoothly fill into the frame, bringing the whole drawing to life. It looks so nice and organic!

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how this is actually done?

Thank you so much in advance for your help!
