Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsBeginningby Judy Janovyak (Lockport, IL, US)

I needed this print for my daughter's baby shower and gave little notice. Unfortunately, though the print was completed, it didn't arrive in time to be at the shower. However, it was completed and shipped very quickly and is absolutely perfect! My daughter and son-in-law love it and it will be a keepsake for them to display this beautiful moment in their life for years to come. It turned out exactly as I had wanted and was delivered not only quickly, but safely so that the print was in perfect condition for framing. I highly recommend My DaVinci!

This is the 3rd sketch I have had done and it is so impressive. The work is professional and done totally to your satisfaction. Customer service was extremely accomodating to meet my time frame. Have used this as wedding gifts and it has been overhelmingly received.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoGift of DaVinci watercolor of new houseby Annamary Sullivan (Falls Church, VA, US)

Painting was commissioned as a housewarming/birthday present for a family member who just purchased a new, historic home. Exceptional work! He was, in his own words, “blown away“ by how terrific it was. Not only would I do something like it again, he plans to take the idea and do it for others for special occasions. Thank you so much!

I am extremely pleased with the portrait of my cat in a masterpiece. The colors are vivid, the image is crisp, and the paper is extremely high quality. It's a really fun piece of artwork that brightens up my office. I highly recommend!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPencil sketch by Monica Buckley (Chelmsford, MA, US)

Lovely sketch of a wedding pic for my son's first anniversary. Service was excellent; was told up front that my first photo would not work well. I sent another and they offered a credit if it didn't meet my expectations. It did. So glad I read the reviews before choosing myDavinci!

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoAwesome Gift!by Brandi Erickson (Kansas City, KS, US)

I ordered this for my daughter's 13th birthday. We gave her room a complete make-over and surprised her with the picture at Christmas. She absolutely LOVES IT!! I think any teen girl would LOVE to have something so unique and personal as this hanging in their room. She loves walking in and seeing the portrait above her bed. Your company followed my instructions perfectly and we are VERY pleased with the results! Thank you!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsVery, very happy!by Daniel Guiley (Springfield, OR, US)

This was my 2nd time having a picture drawn and both times it's been perfect. Great communication throughout the process, if you have any requests or questions they work with you to make sure it's exactly what you want. Both were purchased as gifts for friends and they were completely blown away both times. Thank you!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsVery Pleased!by Brian Denney (Eubank, KY, US)

I'm so happy with this piece of art. This was a special gift for my wife for Christmas but I was so excited about it that I had to let her have the gift before Christmas. The sketch is a sketch of my wife and her parents. Her mother died last year and her father passed away this year. My wife really loves this sketch.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsBeautiful by Erin Olson (Long Prairie, MN, US)

I cannot express how much I love this drawing. It was for a gift to a very close friend of mine. It was her daughters in the picture and the artist captured exactly what I wanted it to. Thank you so much to whoever drew this...it made a mom very happy!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsLooks great!!by Brice Dudman (Brier, WA, US)

This is the third drawing I've purchased and you really nailed it. That's Wilson, all right. I was very happy with the first one and loved this one. I gotta say my second one, a beautiful German Shepherd didn't do her justice. It was too light and a bit angular. My fault for approving it without voicing my concerns. I'd purchased it for a friend and saw it again recently for the first time in a while and was again disappointed. But this one couldn't have been better

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsLittle Manby Petra Brooks (Hinesville, GA, US)

I submitted a photo of my husband and our recently deceased dog Little Man. When I received the proof of the drawing, I felt it was beautifully done, but the dog in the drawing did not look like our Little Man to anyone looking at it who knew him. I contacted myDaVinci about my concern and they allowed me to send a different photo and did a new drawing, which came out so amazing, looking JUST like our little guy. This was the third time I ordered art from myDaVinci and I am more than pleased and have recommended them many times.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsAmazing by Jomar Rosario (Port Saint Lucie, FL, US)

Artwork was amazing, will definitely purchase from here again.

Personalized Renaissance Portrait Girl with a Pearl Earring from PhotoA New Masterpieceby P Cally (Massachusetts, US)

Really excellent work! I sent a couple of photos. The artist was able to get the face angle very close to the original art, which was my desire. Totally love how well it turned out. You get to review the image before it is made and billed. In my case I couldn't see anything to request they change. The frame came with hanging wire and hanging hardware assembled and ready to hang. Very happy customer.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsJoplin Rememberedby Sam Burkes (Alexandria, VA, US)

I took a chance with sending in a photo of my wife's dog that she had to euthanize. It was an idea I had for a Christmas gift and her first artwork for her new office. I am so happy I decided to go with My DaVinci because the drawing brought tears from her eyes. It is so incredible. The artwork was done quickly and on time. I love having the Artist's signature on it. I will be using My DaVinci again.

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosGreat job!by Robin Morley (Chester, NJ, US)

I sent a photo of my daughter and fiancé’s apt in a historic section of Boston and the artist did a wonderful job of capturing the charm of the old brick building at Christmas time. I added a request for a few additional details after I saw the first rendition and it was done perfectly . This made a great gift and they really love it!

Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosGreat attention to adjustmentsby Barbara McWee (Oakland, MI, US)

Because our grandchild's face was scrunched up as the butterfly landed on her nose and was quite obscured by a shade in the original photograph, it was difficult to make her face look just like her. DaVinci reworked the drawing with the assistance of additional photos we provided and the end result was a treasure.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsAmazing work! by Kyra Knuth (West Des Moines, IA, US)

I will be buying more items from here! They had amazing customer service, were quick to answer emails, and the finished product was better then I expected! I will be ordering a few Christmas gifts for family members here shortly because of how easy the process was and how incredible the finished piece was! I can’t recommend them enough!

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoBest gift ever!!!by Jennifer Smith (Franklin, TN, US)

I had the most wonderful experience with my DaVinci artwork. I had so many questions, and changes and the staff was always professional and replied quickly. The artwork itself was better then I could have imagined. I will use them again and I recommend them highly to anyone looking for a fab, one of a kind piece of artwork!

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.

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoBella Graceby Kelly Ann Plaunt (Dearborn, MI, US)

So, honestly I haven’t seen the finished product, it’s a Christmas present for my family. They don’t know about it and we will open together Christmas morning! However, working with this company was awesome! This is the second picture I ordered within 2 weeks because the first one was so easy! Unfortunately, we lost both of our fur babies this year ( within 9 months of each other) . This baby was my girl...and the other was my husbands baby. I know the emotions will be spilling over when he see both pictures!!

The fact that My DaVinci artists trained for years definitely shows in this sketch. It is very close to the picture I sent in and I am amazed at how closely the details were followed. I would definitely recommend this service to anyone who wants high-quality art to adorn their walls or desk space. Great job!

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosChristmas giftby Gina Gonzalez (PORT SAINT LUCIE, FL, US)

I LOVED IT! We all LOVED it! The artist did an amazing job! I was left speechless and my mother in law was left sobbing. The gift was for her of her late husband and she was in awe of this portrait. I got it in size 16x20 with no frame and just purchased a frame of my own. It was the perfect size for over her fireplace. It was beautiful! I will purchase from you again!!! Thank you again.
