Excellentby Jake Bell (Puyallup, WA, US)

Can't say enough good things about the drawing we had done. The detail is spot-on. Such a good price and quick turnaround. This gift is for my father and I cant wait for Christmas to come to see his reaction. I will definitely be using MyDavinci in the future when I need another hand drawn picture.

Sunny day by Randy Decker (Huntington Beach , CA, US)

This was a gift for my wife because it was taken from a photo of our first Fourth of July together. I knew my wife loved the photo so I was very pleased when she saw this pencil rendition and loved it too. The cost and wait time were both very reasonable for such a unique gift idea.

Beautiful Work, Wonderful Teamby Jill Rafter (Milford, MA, US)

The piece we received is so beautiful. We're so glad to have this hand-sketched drawing of our beautiful boy who we lost last year. The customer support with My DaVinci was phenomenal from the start. They worked closely with me to ensure our piece would be just right. And, the entire process was so much quicker than I would have expected. We'll absolutely work with them again!

Excellent Product - Excellent Serviceby Robin Lee Monroe (Vancouver, BC, CA)

I ordered a watercolour painting as a house warming gift in celebration of the purchase of my son's first house. I was not disappointed - the painting was excellent and the service with the artists was as well.

The Boysby CharleneR Barthelemy (Katy, TX, US)

I ordered a pencil sketch of my daughter's dogs for her Mother's Day surprise. I sent a couple extra photos just so the artists could "get a feel" of the boys' personalities - ha, ha The artists suggested the pic below because it had the most detail. They are very good about communication...after several e-mails this was the final product. My daughter was overjoyed. She said it "captured" the boys' personalities from their expressions to their stances. It took on extra meaning because she is relocating so this not only is a reminder of good times shared where she lives but a great new house-warming gift for their new place. I had previously ordered a watercolor from DaVinci for a friend which was just beautiful. They don't just duplicate...they put a little bit of sentiment in everything they do...lots of coupons and very reasonable additions like matte and frame. My next order will be a color pencil sketch!!

Excellent work and great service!by Elmer Tolentino (Livermore, CA, US)

This company was very patient and professional, helping me getting the work done to my satisfaction and in a timely manner. I actually did not approve the first 3 versions of the work but it did not matter. They continued to work with me through the various interations until I was completely happy. The final work of art was done beautifully and the look on my Wife's face when she saw the portrait will forever be remembered. Thanks MyDaVinci! I am a customer for life. Jon from California

Beautiful and Inspired My Wifeby HAROLD MCGINNIS (ACWORTH, GA, US)

The artwork was superb! It is of my wife's family home that had to be sold when her Mom passed away. It was difficult for her! When she opened the package and saw the art, she immediately started crying and just staring at the photo. She took the photo and clinged it to her heart for a long time. Thank you so much for what you did for my wife!!

WONDERFUL GIFTby Shawn Moore (Lewisville, TX, US)

My husband purchased this gift for me for Christmas. I was so thrilled as my Doggie Teddie is my baby and I love him dearly. Great Job, Wonderful gift to cherish forever! Thank you

Saved Our Wedding Photos!!by Meghan (GA)

Unfortunately, the memory card with our wedding photos was lost before we ever received any pictures of us together. All that we had were a few iphone photos that a friend took. We were grateful for those, but the quality wasn’t good enough to print past a 4x6. Then I heard of myDaVinci...we sent in the best iphone picture we could find and the artist created the most beautiful portrait from our wedding. Now we have a large representation, and it’s one of the only ones from our wedding day. I’m so grateful for this company! The painting is so incredibly detailed, down to the exact lace detail of my dress. No one would ever know that it was painted off a small phone photo that was our last hope. We’ve already ordered others as gifts. You may think it’s a big investment, but the value is incredible. I am amazed at their work! Thank you!!

Loved it!by Krystal Petty (Lancaster, CA, US)

My siblings and I bought this print as a Christmas gift for our parents, who love going to wine country for the weekend. We had it personalized with their names and anniversary date (also upcoming at the time). They LOVED it! It looks exactly as the preview showed and arrived right on time! I would defn do business again!

My client cried when she saw it!by Cameron Sorensen (Holladay, UT, US)

I am impressed each and every time I have a home drawn for a client of mine, something I try to give each Seller that sells a home. There is something about looking at the drawing of your old home, inside a frame on your wall, that makes you pause, reflect and remember the joyous memories that were created in that home. This one was no different. As soon as my client opened up the gift, she started to cry. Tears of joy and appreciation. Thank you for always going above and beyond and to your skillful artists that always capture every detail. It means the world to me and my clients.

Perfect gift by Janet B. (Forked River, NJ )

I must say, the artwork was amazing. The attention to detail was exceptional. The only disappointment was the frame. I thought I was getting a dark wooden frame, and instead, it was a painted frame which was a muddy orange. It really did not complement the picture. I was surprised that the person that put it together would have realized that it did not go...SO, I returned the frame and ended up buying one locally with a mat, which really looked great. BUT, the picture itself came out beautiful and I'm sure my husband will love his Christmas gift!!

Llly’s Christmas Cardby A . Stock (Hanover, PA, US)

myDavinci has been doing our Christmas cards for the past 3 or 4 years and every card has been exactly what we wanted. They do The greatest work. I have had cards done for myself and portraits of children for gifts and they have always been accommodating and willing to get it right. If you are looking for s special gift, you can’t go wrong with choosing mydavinci

Color pencil sketchby Patricia Meyer (Fairfax, VA, US)

This was the second time I’ve ordered from this art group and I have been pleased with both purchases. This one was a color pencil sketch of a man holding his puppy. It is a gift for my daughter’s boyfriend. The illnesses are very good ; I believe it is always hard to capture the eyes especially on animals . This was the case with this picture and I would have given it a five star rating except for this one thing. However, they always ask if there is anything else they can do to improve their work to what you’d like and will make adjustments accordingly. I also appreciate the fast turnaround from order to receipt of their first and then final copy...!

Fabulous workby Scott Witham (Chehalis, WA, US)

My wife’s cat passed and it’s the last real thing that belonged to her late husband. This art will keep not only Oscar the cat alive but a constant reminder of her late husband Darren.

Very happy customerby Diana Vogrin (Evansville, IN, US)

This is my 5th purchase from myDaVinci.com and we have been very happy with our sketches. While the process is strictly automated, there is a chat feature if needed and they are very accommodating with my revisions after I preview each draft. I have and will continue to recommend this site.

Family Portait is Fabulousby Alice Howell (Orchard Lake, MI, US)

We are extremely pleased with not only the beautiful job the artist did in creating the photo-to-art family portrait, but the excellent service as well. Our kids were so surprised and pleased with this unique gift, and we are so happy the gift arrived as promised in time for Christmas.

Beautifulby Cara (Chittenango, NY, US)

I could not have asked for a better portrait. It was exactly how I envisioned it. The artist sent a sample of what they would do prior to the final product so you know exactly what you will get. We had just lost our dog of 13 years and I could not be happier with this.

Perfect as always! by Alisa (Indiana)

I have used this company now 4 different times and have been amazed how perfectly they can transform photo to pencil art ! Will definitely use mydavinci again in the future .

Excellent Canvas workby Mukesh Shah (Plano, TX, US)

Very courteous and professional staff. Excellent Canvas pictures Awesome customer service

Back 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.

My granddogby Maureen Burt (Spring Lake, MI, US)

This is the fourth picture of my kids dogs. They have been awesome and each one spectacular. I will continue to use your artwork for many gifts. It is a great gift and well worth the money!

Excellent communication, fantastic giftby Edward Brown (Brewton, AL, US)

Our Daughter and son in law loved this drawing. It's a unique gift for people who have everything and can be difficult to buy for. We are more than satisfied with the service and shipping time for this beautiful drawing.

A sketch to last foreverby John Kotek (Bartlett, IL, US)

This is my second sketch from the studio and as I expected it was excellent. They kept me informed of the progress and the line of communication was great. They followed my special request which made the gift all more wonderful. I plan to have more sketches done in the future. This sketch is now the focal point of my house. Excellent job myDaVinci!

Love this art work!by (Sachse, TX, US)

I thank the artist who created that caricature for our colleague who was leaving after 17yr. It touched him and made him laugh. All subjects were created as specified, and the main guy - looked very much like our colleague! great job! There was some initial lack of clear communication and I was not able to show a preview at his going away party. That was unfortunate. But it does not detract from the work that the artist accomplished.

House picture by Kelley Trott (Terrell, NC, US)

Thank you for the beautiful watercolor of my sister’s home. They raised their children in this home, but recently moved. It was a house warming gift, and they LOVED it! It is hanging now inside their front door as a reminder of all the memories made there. Again, thank you.

Wonderful by nancy swedran (Bloomfield, IN, US)

I never expected it to be so beautiful and how it shows her essence. A beautiful tribute to my girl that just passed at 12 years old. A meaningful keepsake. Customer service and promptness are great. Thanks for the fantastic work. I will be using DaVinci again.

The most beautiful tributeby Erin Spohn (Allegan, MI, US)

The artist captured exactly what I was hoping.

JoZ Walesby Julianne Mayville (GLADSTONE, MI, US)

I just love this picture. The artist did a fantastic job replicating the photo I sent. This is our 5th drawing from myDaVinci and they have done a great job on everyone.

Beach chair pic/purchased for my Brother/Sister-in-law's 40th Anniversary.by Linda (Falmouth, MI, US)

The pic was simple but said "volumes"... The heart in the sand with their names and Anniversary date on it gave it that personal touch and made it so meaningful. Everybody loved it, especially the couple it was purchased for. Glad I found you on the internet. Received it in plenty of time for our event. Thanks again, probably will be checking out your web site again in the future.
