Creating a Drawing Machine exercise- 

My drawing invention is created quite simply from paint and marbles. I had four drops of paint in the corners of my sketchbook. The paint was acrylic.

I bought 150 marbles to see what I could make with the paint and the marbles combined.

I found it interesting with the more marbles you introduce to the page obviously the more markings are created, I liked how it wasn't all down to me, it was the paper, the surface, the paint and marbles together my hand which was the final element. 

All of these mediums created a sketch like no other, a drawing with movement diverse colour and expression.
I liked how the end sketch was circles over each other with the four starting points at each corner. How there is a density where the marbles were instantly moved too and round the edges of the sketch is light and fragile.
However the actual sketch isn't the full drawing in my opinion as I used my hand in the process therefore my hand also became part of the drawing itself.
I like the small round imprints on my hand alongside the colour.

I think my drawing machine was a successful medium for a mark making exercise like this one. It was a fun idea next time I think I might introduce some more elements maybe chalk, graphite so it becomes layered and has a different texture.
