FatherhoodHeartwarming gift!!by Chandra Antonatos (Aiken, SC, US)

I'm currently pregnant and although the baby is not born until this October, it was father's day and I thought it was a cute idea to get my husband the photo of the father's hands holding the baby's feet and I used the personilization to add the baby's name and left the Father message as is and it went together well. It was something so cute to give my hubby and can be put in the baby's room later as it has his full name on it with the cute baby feet in father's hands picture! I think it makes a great gift for a new father and is very heartwarming and pretty to have!

Custom Caricature from Photos for Individuals, Couple, Family, Kids and GroupLook no further for a custom caricatureby Lewis Askegaard (Staunton, VA, US)

You can find caricature artists all over the internet. We wanted an 8x12 wedding picture. MyDaVince did a great job, customizing it just like we wanted. They sent us a trial, and we asked for a couple of changes, which they did in a day just as we asked. The picture was boxed securely, came in two days. The whole process took 2-3 weeks, which would have been less had I used a credit card rather than a check. This is not a hand done caricature but rather they use photo technology (that I wouldn't understand), but it was customized just like we wanted, and the likenesses of the bride and groom were right on. Total cost? Just $120, with no surprised fees. You can pay less, but you can pay a lot more on the web. I could not recommend them more highly.

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 ArtistsPatchesby Catherine Hamill (Rahway, NJ, US)

I was very happy with the sketch. I am glad I got a chance to review it before you sent it out. The ball was not in the picture at first. I wanted it in the picture because Patches always plays with it not only with us but also with visitors. I will show off the sketch & recommend you. Thanks again.

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosExceptional workby Christopher Dahlberg (Memphis, TN, US)

My son has just purchased a new home and is likely to move in for the holidays. When I saw a write up about this company in a newspaper, I began thinking this would be a great Christmas present. The artwork is wonderful. We have framed it and have it ready for the holidays. I appreciate the good communication throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this company.

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosAnniversary gift for hubbyby Ellie Brandt (Burr Ridge, IL, US)

This is my husband's favorite photo of us and it was getting a little discolored behind the frame. When I found your website, I knew this would be the perfect gift. I didn't have a digital file or even a negative. I just sent in the photo and within a week, I had this lovely version of my husbands favorite photo. I gave it to him last weekend while celebrating our anniversary in LasVegas and he was truely blown away. "You really hit a home run with this gift....it's perfect", he said through a huge smile. Thank you so much to all the creative people at myDaVinci.com. You made our anniversary even more special.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMemory of my grand fur babies. by Debbie Tunney (Belle Vernon, PA, US)

This is my second order to My Davinci. The first was my son’s dog. It was absolutely beautiful so that’s why I decided to get my daughter one when her two dogs passed away ten days of each other. Again I was so happy with this one. It showed their character. It is amazing how they captured this. Thank you so much for two beautiful drawings. I will be using them again.

Buying a gift for hm gets harder every year but this year I got it right!!. Couldn't be more pleased with the finished work. Thank you so much!

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosGreat solution for enlarging a low res photoby Karen S. (Bedford, TX, US)

We wanted to have a large portrait of my father for his memorial service, but most of the photographs we had were low resolution and couldn't be enlarged to the size we wanted without significant pixelation. This digital painting was a good balance between cost and turn around time. It was a very fast process and I was sent a proof to approve within a day or 2. It was well protected during shipment. The only thing I would do differently in the future is find a frame first and purchase the size to match the frame. Due to the size I ordered, off the shelf frame selection was limited. This was a great service and the smoothness of the transaction was greatly appreciated during a very stressful time.

This watercolor is so beautiful and done so well. The first one I received the haircoloring was a little blonde, I requested to redo it to look more auburn. It is perfect. I can't say enough good things about this website and it's artists. I have had four watercolors done and they're all so special.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosLucy's Ready for Her Walkby walt (OH, USA)

This is our fourth artwork over the years we have purchased from myDaVinci. We have been very happy with all four results. Each one was a gift to someone whose family pet was still with them or had passed. In any event, all our family members were extremely happy with the results.

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosOrdered as a giftby Rebecca Pourroy (Kankakee, IL, US)

I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my daughter and her fiancé. I won't know what their reaction is until Christmas, but I found the ordering process to be pain free. I was offered a preview of the drawing and able to make suggestions of changes I thought it needed. Once those changes were made, I was able to preview the drawing again and I realized that the first rendering was the better one. Once again the change was made. I recommend my DaVinci to anyone looking for a unique gift or keepsake.

Looks great at the top of the stairs. Brings a smile on my face each morning and night. Thanks for capturing my kids in a fun design!!!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoFabulous watercolorby (SEATTLE, WA, US)

The painting of my daughter and son-in-law’s first house is wonderful! The artist added their dog on the porch and a number of edits that added so much to the charm of the painting. The painting is of the home on a pretty spring day with the daffodils blooming. My only photo was taken on a grey fall day with dead flowers. I highly recommend my DaVinci!

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosReed Houseby Melody Veltri (Findlay, OH, US)

My friend and her husband are moving to another city after 40 years of raising children and living in their family home. As a gift, I took a photo of the home and My DaVinci created a beautiful colored pencil drawing of it. I asked for a few additions to the landscape and for the artist to eliminate clutter on the porch. "Hind" did an amazing job. I will most definitely give this kind of gift again, and I think the price is extremely reasonable for the quality of the artwork.

LeonardoGreat job!by Geraldine Brooks (Billerica, MA, US)

My daughter was thrilled and absolutely loves it! Great job! Thank you

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGreat keepsakeby Rita Keeling (Fishers, IN, US)

I LOVE the pencil sketch of my home. I had made a lot of modifications through the various emails that were sent to me. MyDavinci wanted to make sure the sketch was exactly what I wanted. They removed some of the larger trees that were obstructing the view of the house, which I had requested. It turned out just perfect.
