SVG: stroke animation not working when I try to set a fill color

I have a stroke animation that only works with a fill: transparent, but I need to set the fill with a color.

This is my current code:

svg#handwriting {
    width: 300px;
    height: 200px;
    z-index: 999;
    transform: rotate(350deg);
}
svg#handwriting path {
    stroke: black;
    stroke-width:2;
    stroke-dasharray: 4163;
    animation: fillSvg 5s ease-out;
    fill: transparent;
}

@keyframes fillSvg {
    0%{
        stroke-dashoffset: 4163;
    }
    100%{
        stroke-dashoffset: 0;
    }    
}
