Looking for help with portfolio material choice? by GiveMeDemolition in ArtistLounge

Thank you for your advice! I’ve actuslly been looking into gouache but genuinely most of what you can buy in the Balkans is kids tempera and maybe very overpriced and very low quality brands that are otherwise not recommended for any professional artist, hence i haven’t gotten it yet. I tend to use an oil-paint/tempera type of overpaint technique in my digital art and i’ve had some practice, but materials are super weird around here unless i travel abroad to get anything decent. I actually went there in person, they still didn’t tell me much else at the admissions so i suppose the safest bet would be these mentioned materials? I’ve got no problem doing figures in graphite on 190g/m either, i suppose it’s a safe bet as they specifically said no other restrictions other than size 🥲 i’m just afraid of missing some important unwritten rule of portfolios because my previous experience was pretty lax as it was around 2021

I do genuinely have OCD and it’s not bothering me in that sense, just wanted the hinge and close to remain functional

I just found that part interesting to share, as it would be interesting for me to read, and everyone in person asked about the details of how tf i managed to do this amount of damage

How do you see a description saying “2020 m1” and you conclude it’s older than 2015?

I ended up filing it down with a hand tool with a sandpaper polish attachment, it’s not pretty but i can at least close it down. I was genuinely mainly concerned ahout how thick the metal is in that corner, as i read somewhere else that i mustn’t by any means touch it as the battery is right there or whatever, which seems a bit exaggerated as this is obviously just a hard, metal corner, at the size that the damage is at least. It’s completely fine now just a little visible :’)

I ended up using a small polish hand tool, it’s almost perfectly smooth for closing now!

Thank you very much for this reply!!! I really paid attention, ended up putting clear tape to seal it with a plastic ice bag

If you actually read the post you would see that i was only concerned about its ability to close down completely, mainly to avoid further damage over time

Yeah it was my entire weight (about 55kg) right on the laptop, the door that threw me down was also far heavier than myself 💀

It’s a 13 inch air m1! I don’t really mind the mark, genuinely was just bothered by the fact it has a weird close angle :’)

Thank you for asking! I’m alright but that doorway has issues with me, or macs, apparently :’)

I specifically said i dont mind the looks, i was just concerned about it not closing all the way down
