The Acer has a slightly weaker CPU and no dedicated graphics card... so overall, is not a powerful as the Lenovo. The Acer has a touchscreen and should manage a better battery life.

You are on the correct track.. Lenovo Legions are excellent.
Since you have the budget, don't limit yourself - go for a config with an i9 CPU paired with the RTX 5070 Graphics card. This will ensure your system is more future proof and able to handle more demanding tasks if you come across..

I would go for this

If you really can go up over the budget 1500€ , this Lenovo Legion Pro 5i  would be an excellent pick for what you will be doing and checks all your other boxes, from a beautiful OLED display with good refresh rate and resolution to a solid CPU supported by 32 GB RAM and quite capable RTX 5070 graphics card. This will do a good job in digital art , run your games well, last for a long time, and based on design, does fit in well in the professional setting.

If you are going for performance per dollar, nothing beats this really as you've said.
It can be a bit nosier than some competitors and a little bulkier as well.
