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

Though I saw the beautiful art examples you provided on your website, I doubted that an artist would be able to capture our Otis in a way that would move us... Well, when we opened the packet and pulled out the art, we both cried... Needless to say, the artist could not have done a better job. We were so very moved, and though it made us sad again that he is now gone, we are so happy to have this beautiful image of Otis to display. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We absolutely love the picture. It looks just like her. My daughter and son in law were very happy to receive such a lasting gift. I will be a return customer, and I think you will have more new customers as well. PS framed and matted, looks superb!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPleasedby 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.

Personalized Love and Music Masterpiece from PhotosBack in timeby THELMA THERIAULT (CARSON CITY, NV, US)

Thank you so much for a job well done. I bought the photo for a Christmas gift and my husband really enjoyed receiving it. I also showed the picture to many friends and I sent them your web site. I am looking into photos that I am going to have made for my son and daughter-in-law's anniversary. It is so much fun choosing the perfect photo gift. You have a great selection of photo art to chose from! Thanks again.

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.

RoyColorful Imageryby Donna Candelori (Angels Camp, CA, US)

The artist made the picture come alive! I love the colors and textures that were chosen based on what the artist saw from the photograph I submitted. I only had to provide a few lines about who the person was in the image and any favorite colors, and magic was cast to produce a picture I'm thrilled to have on my wall.

Personalized Masterpiece Major General from PhotoMajor 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!

I honestly couldn’t be more happy with the professionalism and quality of the product I received. The communication was outstanding as well. I cannot speak to a frame as I did not get one.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsA Different Perspective of Vintageby John Marquez (Pico Rivera, CA, US)

I was taken back to see my Mom and Dad in a new perspective of their Wedding Photo. A beautiful pencil drawing. It was a flashback to anew. This will be a gift to my Mom for her Birthday that I'm sure will leave her breathless. Thank You.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosBeautiful Workby Caroline Attaway (Milledgeville, GA, US)

Good communication. I think there is a quite a time difference because it would take a while for them to reply, but I did have a few edits that needed to be made. Overall I loved the drawing and so did my mother who received it as a gift. I will definitely use them again! Thank you!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoLooks great!by Deborah Osterberg (Darlington, SC, US)

Well done, captured my mom perfectly!! I love the choice of colours for the background!!

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 ArtistsThe likeness is amazing!by Yvonne Simoni (Salem, NH, US)

For Christmas, I wanted give my Fiance a personalized and unique gift, so I sent MyDaVinci a photograph of his children for a pencil sketch to be made. I couldn't have been happier with the final result! It looks SO much like them, and captures their spirits and affection for each other perfectly! He was thrilled and couldn't wait to hang it on the wall for everyone to see! People as us where I got it and I send them to MyDaVinci! I can't wait to have you create a sketch of our favorite wedding photo!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPerfectionby Janet D (Omaha, NE, US)

I have never been more pleased with something as I was having this sketching done. It was packaged beautifully to where I had no worries of breakage since I had mine framed. The picture was perfect from the time I was able to review it to receiving the finished and framed product. I will definitely be using MyDavinci again.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsBrilliant!by Tracy Alderson (Feltham, , GB)

I loved this when it arrived, couldn't have asked for anything better. Got it as a present for my fiancé as he loves American fire truck and this is his favourite truck...! He said it's the best present he has ever had! Thank you so much for creating this amazing picture x

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGreat Customer Serviceby RHoag (Greenville, SC, US)

The artwork was superb and so was the customer service. I was concerned on size, and the online chat as well as the specifics that I wrote in the order were addressed. I needed this to match my other children's that had been years ago, and myDaVinci was successful. I highly recommend this site.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoLynda’s houseby Jan (Buchanan, MI, US)

I am beyond pleased with my piece of art, a housewarming gift for my best friend.

I am over the moon happy with the outcome of this piece and 110% satisfied with the quality of it as a heirloom for years to come.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsTrue loveby Lynette Ollio (Renfrew, PA, US)

This was my favorite gift! The workmanship is terrific with amazing details and exact appearances on the sketching! The timing was not long either. Thank you!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsCompletely Satisfied by Angie Estevez (Middletown, DE, US)

The hand-penciled drawing was wonderful and blew my wife and I away with how accurate and detailed it was. It fully captured our dog’s features and smile, despite her being an all black dog. And it also accurately portrayed my wife who was holding our dog in the drawing. The process was very good too. Before framing up and shipping us the drawing, we received a preview via email for approval and given the opportunity to request changes. And from start (ordering) to finish (drawing in hand) was about 3-4 weeks. We love our drawing and will treasure it for years to come!

Hand Painted Oil Painting Portraits from Photos | Photo to Oil PaintingExcellent quality!by L Swift (Chesterfield, MO, US)

We had our dog painted as a gift and were very pleased with the results as well as the service. The painting showed more personality that wasn’t evident in the photo we sent. Thanks - we are very likely to do another dog portrait in the future.
