Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoSome of my favorite artwork!!by Nicole K (Hubert, NC, US)

This is our second pop art from My Davinci and they never disappoint! Beautifully canvassed and such vibrant colors in all the right places- they really captured the personality of our German Shepherd! Will continue to patronize this company!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsDrawn sketch by Christine S. (Seven Hills, OH, US)

I am very pleased with my drawing. I felt customer service was very responsive during the creation process and that the modifications I requested on the actual sketch were done how I envisioned. I’m very grateful for the ability to have been able to put together multiple images. This is the only picture I will ever have of all three of my children together before my youngest passed away. Having this drawing to see brings me so much joy. The artists at mydavinci are truly talented.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGrandsonby Patricia Fortino (gilroy, CA, US)

I've had five sketches done and have loved them all. This one is our grandson in Scotland with his grandma for high school graduation. He absolutely loved it. I color it myself and have given them to my family. The artwork is extremely beautiful. The people at MyDavinci are very good in making sure all goes well. I totally would recommend it to all.

The drawing of my son and daughter in laws house is beautiful. The service, follow up and changes for the completion of the project was very professional and customer friendly. I would highly recommend this company. May I also add that my son and daughter in law love it!

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosMy First Drawingby gladys miles (virginia beach, VA, US)

I wanted to try a drawing rendition of a favorite photo and must say, the end result was quite impressive. One gets a chance to ask for modifications if required which I did and as stated am happy with the end result. The service was good and I received my drawing in a cardboard tube. The timing was very good too.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoMet All Expectationsby Andrew Darlington (Denver, CO, US)

I was very pleased with every step of the process. Ordering was efficient, reviewing the initial proof was prompt, delivery was quick and most importantly, my client loved the finished product. It was the first piece of art they hung in their new home. Will certainly order again.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoIrish Setter Watercolorby Lynn Smith (Avon Lake, OH, US)

I was extremely pleased with the watercolor portrait of our Irish Setter. This was intended as a birthday gift for my husband and I was worried about the detail quality of the photo I was uploading for the artist to use. But the artist did a wonderful job capturing all the special details we remembered about our dog & even made the small modification I requested after the initial preview. The whole process went very smoothly & we plan to order again from “my DaVinci.”

Custom Caricature from Photos for Individuals, Couple, Family, Kids and GroupBest birthday gift EVER!!!by Constance Crowley (Arlington, VA, US)

Our sister was SO happy with this special gift we gave her for her 60th birthday celebration! The artist, Ken, was very patient, as we made many change requests to get the caricature just the way we wanted it. There were five of us weighing in and making suggestions. This is a great company, and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience. This is the third time we've ordered from myDaVinci, and each of the caricatures is a treasure!

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosGreat Likenessby Tricia ONeal (Saint Louis, MO, US)

I gave them a picture of my sister and BIL’s Briard Dog. It was done in pencil. It is remarkable. I would have liked a little bit more color but Briards are usually a light fawn, white and this one is 10 and had gray in him. Not much you can do to add color to that. This is going to be their Christmas present. I am very happy with the end product. Would certainly recommend.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosNot what I expected by Kimberly Juarez (Houston, TX, US)

My level of satisfaction is immeasurable. My life has been made I look at this painting and my heart aches a little bit less. Thank you to the truly talented artist for bringing the two people I love the most together.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch Artiststablescapeby Rika Peterson (Sioux Falls, SD, US)

The sketch represents the picture perfectly. The details and dimensions are what makes it so special. This tablescape represents the meeting of two sets of parents before a year full of exciting events: an engagement and a wedding! I love that this memory will live on through art.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGreat artworkby Magen Vanlanduyt (McHenry, IL, US)

Order went smoothly aside from me having a hard time finding a photo that was big enough to be able to get all the details. Obviously is not the artist fault but mine. They did a great job

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGranddaughter’s portraitby Joanna Rossbach (Norwood, NJ, US)

This portrait is a Christmas gift for a grandfather. The photo I provided had a lot of other people on the beach. The artist eliminated it and created a gorgeous portrait of a young girl with a ocean background , as requested. It is stunning and it will be a Christmas present for the girl’s grandfather.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsThe perfect baptism giftby Elizabeth Stock (Hanover, PA, US)

Wanted to get a gift that they could keep. I had used myDaVinci before and always loved the results. So I knew this would be the perfect gift. It was more than perfect. If you are looking for a very special gift, you will not be disappointed. Your gift will be a gift that lasts for years..

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsThrill of Victory by Ken Skidmore (Mont Belvieu, TX, US)

We could not be more happy with our sketch from myDaVinci. It captured a special moment from a 1979 Texas High School State Championship football game victory. I feel like the sketch turned out better than the actual photograph. Thanks for putting the memory to paper for both coaches and player!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsExcellentby Abby Mozelak (Thomason, CT, US)

This was my 3rd purchase of dog sketches, they captured the dog’s photo to a tee, and if not you can explain the changes they need to make and then the sketch comes back and it is perfect! I think I have cried every time I have received the sketch! When my friends see the pictures they have asked who did the sketch and I go on ‘mydavinci’ rant. I love them, you WON’T be disappointed!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsBeautiful Done and likeness is great. by Marc Riei (Galena, OH, US)

Perfect for a Christmas gift. The artist did a great job. Better quality than other options I’ve seen. Timing was fairly quick for what it is and overall very pleased. My only small complaint was I did check for the artist to sign it and they must have forgotten. But that’s a minor detail. Thank you for making this easy and a beautiful gift.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsBest gift idea ever. by Brianne (Inverness, IL, US)

I’ve ordered from mydavinci twice, and both times I’ve been very happy with the product and the service. I ordered a pencil drawing of my niece 2 years ago, and this year I ordered one of my nephew- both Christmas gifts for my sister. The customer service side of mydavinci is great, they keep you updated throughout the process of your order. The delivery is very timely, even with it being a busy holiday season. The final art is amazing!! My sister cried when I gifted her the drawing of my niece, and I’m assuming she will cry tomorrow when I give her the one of my nephew.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsKaydee by Bonnie Hilliard (Lawrenceville, GA, US)

My granddaughter wanted this to give to her mom on her birthday. She was so happy and excited she gave it to her mom before her birthday. She pointed out the details of Kaydee that the artist captured and was very pleased with the drawing. Will buy again from mydavinci.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGreat Mother's Day Gift!!!by Brett (Durham, NC, US)

I had this pencil sketch done for my wife, a first-time mother. I was very pleased with the likeness of the sketch and the careful attention to detail. I gave it to my wife as a gift for her fist Mother's Day. She was ecstatic with it, to say the least. So much so, that I would not be surprised if she got me a similar sketch for Father's Day!

I can't say enough about both the quality of the product and the stellar customer service experience. From the moment I placed the order, any questions were immediately addressed and every effort was made to insure a positive interaction. I would not hesitate to order from myDaVinci in the future!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoBeautiful productby Ellen Teeman (KATONAH, NY, US)

I am very pleased with the way the water color turned out. The process was easy and whenever I had a question I heard back quickly. It would be helpful if they had a phone number to call instead of emails. Also I suggest the if you need to have the product by a certain date you start the process early since it takes a while especially if you need changes. Also it was very well wrapped for shipping.

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoHank's portraitby Joe Herzig (San Diego, CA, US)

The picture turned out amazing! The FedEx delivery was either stolen or lost by FedEx and myDaVinci was able to send an electronic copy so that I could print it out and still give it as a Christmas gift. I cannot thank them enough for their help and support and amazing art!

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosFantastic!by Mary Coffey (Harbor City, CA, US)

This drawing of my late husband captured the warmth and essence without requiring a touch up or correction! The cherry frame I selected was very nice and sturdy. Really top notch work, I definitely will recommend to my family and friends.
