Favorite grbl sending software and why?
If you also need to convert graphics into gcode, you may try grbl-Plotter: https://github.com/svenhb/GRBL-Plotter https://grbl-plotter.de/?setlang=en https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxiLZDTcWmNzBk5ksgC7\_Rg

Marlin for CNC?
I tried to implement Marlin support in my GRBL-Plotter and it was not simple: E.g. Command for position feedback needs to be injected to normal gcode. In grbl an asynchrone '?' delivers the actual position - much more easy... I definetly would go with grbl. https://github.com/svenhb/GRBL-Plotter
- ? just returning ok and nothing else

I built a Drawing Robot that I hooked up to text -> image AI (DALLE 2). It will attempt to draw whatever you ask it to
Took the picture myself -> Ran photo through this image to lines converter which gave me an SVG -> Used grbl plotter software for converting SVG to gcode -> sent to Drew
2) This software that I used for sending commands to the robot also had a tool for converting images into lines that worked quite well - https://grbl-plotter.de

My drawing robot in action
I use an opensource tool called Saxi to interface with the plotter. It's super easy! https://github.com/nornagon/saxi

Islamic Geometric Art (Design #30 from Anadolu Selçuklu Sanatinin Geometrik Dili)
The basics: I generated this plot via a program I wrote. That program was written in Javascript, using the p5.js library for drawing lines and stuff, and canvas-sketch to generate the SVG for plotting. I passed the SVG through vpype to merge & sort the lines, and then connected to the AxiDraw using saxi. Not knowing where you're at, those are a good choice to get started—Javascript is an okay language, and p5.js is really good for just getting stuff appearing on the page. And you can just start with the first 2, and add vpype and saxi later.

Gifts for an Axidraw lover
A raspberry pi to run a little server running https://github.com/nornagon/saxi is something I personally use all the time.

An intro to Pen Plotters (2019)
+1 for the AxiDraw. The author does link to this page: https://github.com/beardicus/awesome-plotters which has some good AxiDraw resources.
I became much happier with my setup when I switched to running the AxiDraw from a Raspberry Pi using Saxi: https://github.com/nornagon/saxi
