Truckby Anna S. (Edgewood, WA, US)

The drawing turned out great. I would have given 5 star except for two things. Save your money on the framing, it arrived with the backing already broken and made of cheap materials. Customer service online is auto response only, direct questions do not get answered, only canned responses

Best gift for my fisherman!by Christine (Franklin, MA, US)

My husband fishes and does catch and release so all he has for favorite memories are photos. Now he has gorgeous framed pencil drawings of the "prize" fish with details on when and where he caught them. He plans on creating his trophy wall with the beautiful drawings we've had done at myDaVinci. We have been so pleased with the results!

Wedding Giftby Frances Archer (CAMLACHIE, ON, CA)

The wedding date has not arrived yet however we are quite confident the newlyweds will love it. We have given mydavinci art work at two other weddings and it was a big hit both times. From the ordering to delivery right to my front door, it was all so quick & so easy.

Pleasedby Elaine Reich (Winston-Salem, NC, US)

My drawing turned out great. It took about a month to get it to that point. My original pic had sunglasses on the guy so I sent them another pic with a different head and they replaced the one with sunglasses. After submitting about 10 modifications they got it right. It took me a week or two to figure out the chat feature is only available in the afternoon because I’m on the east coast. It was a very helpful tool in getting my modifications relayed to artist. If you don’t get your modifications done right you can change artists. I was pleased with the results.

Perfect donor giftby Bird City Public Library (Bird City , KS, US)

Thank you for working so hard to get the design correct. We wanted to honor an important supporter of our library and his family was very excited when we showed them our idea of a portrait. The colors were bright and beautiful. I sent 3 requests for minor details to be corrected and each was done perfectly. This will be a wonderful talking piece on our library walls for years to come.

Awesome work!by Sally Bricker (Ohio)

We are 100% satisfied with our artwork. They took a photo and rearranged the figures to how we wanted and then did multiple edits to get everything just the way we wanted. They were very responsive to our emails and inquiries. It was a bit pricey due to the number of people in the photo, but totally worth the price! This is something my husband will always treasure.

Beautiful!by Carrie Poston (Florence, SC, US)

I recently purchased a sketch of my husband and son for my husband's first father's day. I am amazed at the quality of the work. The artist produced a beautiful sketch, amazingly detailed. My husband loves it and so do I! I have been recommending My DaVinci to family and friends. You cannot beat the quality of work and price.

Stellar!by Felice M. (glen cove, NY, US)

This is my 1st time working with myDaVinci and suffice it to say, it won't be the last. I'm big on customer service and they were "on it". Especially since my order was a rush during the time when most were social distancing and working from home. The photo I submitted was a little on the fuzzy side which made it difficult for the Artist but WOW! What a beautiful job! I received the portrait on time - as promised. I honestly recommend myDaVinci for the art and the service.

My beautiful DJby Joan Glacken (Estero, FL, US)

The color pencil drawing of my dog DJ is beautiful. It perfectly matches the photo. I was very impressed by the customer service and how quickly the staff responded to emails. It was a pleasure working with this company. I just love the print and how the artist captured my DJ.

Best gift of the seasonby Shana McCullough Downing (Orlando, FL, US)

I was so excited to see my father's face when he opened this for Christmas. He loved it and he is a tough person to get gifts for. This was perfect. My mom displayed it for everyone to see throughout the holidays. Great qaulity and worth every penny!!

Beautiful!by Michelle Kinsley (Winchester, VA, US)

I thought this would make a great gift, but when it arrived it was so much better than I anticipated! They captured our babies eyes perfectly! I couldn't be more pleased and would highly recommend to anyone. Our dog Pops passed away this past year but now we have a beautiful portrait of him hanging on the wall so he is forever with us.

Perfect housewarming giftby Meg Britton (Stafford, VA, US)

Love how this watercolor painting turned out. I had two requests for changes and fully expected to pay for the second, but no! It was all included in my original price. My recipients are thrilled. Highly recommend using my da Vinci.

Greatby Hank Ramos (Sun City, CA, US)

My wife was very surprised and very emotional after seeing herself and lovely mother on the portrait who passed away a year ago. I'm very happy and so is my wife.

Krisby Kris (Sherwood, AR, US)

I had 3 portraits commissioned from my DaVinci and couldn’t be happier. They worked with me and provided me my portraits quicker than I even expected. They are going to make great Christmas presents for my daughter that got married in October. Thank you all so much!

Outstanding!by Carmen Ramirez (Boerne, TX, US)

I sent four different photos to mydaVinci to put them all together for my final product, which is absolutely gorgeous. They understood everything I needed and wanted this watercolor to show and preserve our childhood memories.

My Grands are Grandby Phyllis McCrary (Vestavia, AL, US)

I'm always looking for a way to do something different with all the wonderful pictures I have with my grand children. I just accidentally found this online when I googled pictures to ink. I gave it a try and I'm thrilled with the results. So much I ordered an additional one for the great grandmother. If you're looking for something new to do with a new or old photo, give them a try. P. McCrary

Love it!by Carol Stamper (frankfort, KY, US)

This has been my “go go” wedding gift for the past 10 years! Superb quality and always well received!

Just what we wanted by Patricia Nissen (Lake Forest, IL, US)

Beautifully done and nicely framed. My daughter will be pleased and we plan to order a painting of the house we just moved from after 41 years.

Stunning my little Manby Linda Buero (Clinton Twp., MI, US)

The pencil drawing is beautiful. It looks like my baby is looking right at me. Thank you for capturing him, I miss him so much. Joker 9.11.18 - 5.30.23 Gone but NEVER forgotten.

Ken Grant - Piperby Ken Grant (Parker, CO, US)

this came out very nice. It was a present for my better half and she loves it. I don't know why it says "Ken" in the lower corner. No worries. It will be a nice piece for my spouse's office.

Amazing by Luann White (Mobile, AL, US)

The artwork is amazing. It is absolutely beautiful and looks identical to my fur baby Kota Gerl. Definitely over met my expectations! Could not be happier with my purchase.

Husband's Christmas Presentby Dana Guidry (Raceland, LA, US)

My DaVinci captured my sweet little baby perfectly. She is no longer with us and I had this painted for my husband for Christmas! Thank you MY DaVinci for helping us keep her close to our hearts in our home!

Major General Dadby William Mesure (Quakertown, PA, US)

We were trying to find something different for our dad, and this worked out great! He is a huge military buff, so it was right up his alley. We are glad that we chose the oil painting, and not the photo option, as it looks just like a painting. I also sent in a bunch of different aged pictures and they did a great job compiling them into one good mix shot. He loves it! As did we! We will use you guys again for sure! Easy and fast! Thanks!

Gracie at the windowby Yvonne Mina (Scarborough, ME, US)

We lost our beautiful Labradoodle Gracie, after 16 years of unconditional love . She was always there to make us laugh , comfort us , and motivate us to keep going everyday. She was truly an angel. Her loss has deeply sadden everyone in our family. Our two boys who, were little ,when she was a puppy grew up with her constant love and attention. They are grown now, and living away , but they cherished the visits home just to see her sweet face. My husband and I, now empty nesters ,came home every night to a house still full of life, because Gracie was waiting for us. Her picture was so beautifully done and helped with our grief. Thank you .

seeing is believingby Diane Kelly (Barneveld, WI, US)

I liked My DaVinci's website better than the others that I saw and also liked the diversity of things that they offered. I took a chance and ordered a pencil sketch. Didn't have a real clear photo for them to work with, but am overjoyed with the end result. I will definitely use them again if I am looking to get this type of product, and have suggested them to family and friends.

Our "Harley"by Travis Yates (Palm Bay, FL, US)

The sketch was better than expected. I couldn't have imagined it more beautiful. It's almost as if the artist new our wonderful pet that had just passed. The detail and personality really shows in his facial features. I only wish that the actual artist could be recognized for such wonderful work. Thank you so much from my entire family, you just don't know how much this meant. There will now always be a part of him still watching over us and protecting us. You should really think about making Harley as one of your website samples!

Everything I hoped for...by Julianne Olson (Seattle, WA, US)

The result of the photo I sent in was amazing. The pop art of my granddaughter was perfect. It was a gift for my daughter and son-in-law and when they opened it, it was so great to see their jaws actually drop. They were stunned and so surprised. The communication between myself and myDaVinci was excellent. They really delivered with a wonderful product which was delivered exactly at the time they promised. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

Looks Good!by Carl McConnell (Vista, CA, US)

This was just the look for our Snickers we wanted to match one we had done for Sparky and Rascal. The two images really go well together!

Dobby Watercolorby Roseanna McCleary (Glenside, PA, US)

We love our watercolor of Dobby. We lost him to cancer three months ago and wanted something to remember him. The artist captured not just his looks but also his personality. Those eyes! And we got amazing service throughout the process.

Cat Cherub Paintingby Adam Spence (San Antonio, TX, US)

Exactly what I wanted, awesome! Would highly recommend!
