Is newsprint acceptable in a portfolio?

Dude, I did a sketch on a McDonalds bag that I cut out and stuck in my portfolio.

Unless you're talking about some article that says 'I'm s***hot at design' then I'd stick it in one of the sleeves with the sketchbooks.

lol JK rowlings harry potter was orignially written on the napkins from local coffee shop...so i hguess for all u can even draw it on a leaf and if ur deisngs killer then hey! haha who knows...they mite even give u some financial aid for u to be able to afford nice marker papers too yu know

i <3 newsprint

sooooo fun to sketch on with a prismacolor!

newsprint is actually the best thing to turn in as part of your portfolio. as ccs transportation/automotive classes, every student uses newsprint. simply because it takes in prismacolor and verithin easly. i would recommand you to draw on 18 by 24 size newsprint and add in some renderings on vellum.

That's good to know. It's simply that a few ACAN teachers seem to despise newsprint for some odd reason.

Me too!Its so smooth, and works extremly well with prismas...

wait...are there any white newsprint papers? i mean i never treid it on a newsprint but hey, wat a great way to save money! haha

nah bro
(atleast i've never seen any)

it's called newsprint because its recycled paper(basically the same stuff actual newspapers on printed on). It's the softest sexiest medium you'll ever set your pencil on(or atleast i have yet to find anything softer)

and yes
it's CHEAP!!!!

*make sure to scan/photograph anything god you do on it tho cuz i don't believe its very archival :/
