Incredible!by Dawn Hanson (Greenfield, IN, US)

This captures Randy perfectly. I can just feel his personality in this drawing. The ordering and approval process was simple to understand. I only wish I had received information about the artist. Did someone really draw this by hand? If so, I'd love to know a little about them!

Colorful 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.

More than imaginableby Mark Vaughn (Buffalo, NY, US)

The drawing was a christmas gift for our parents of their first house. They were so surprised and speechless, the emotions were flying high. They immediately hung the drawings and made sure that all visitors over the holidays were shown the gift they received. We were very satisfied with the ordering process, turn around time and authorization process and most of all the final product right down to every detail. It was more than we could ever imagine. Thanks for making our Holidays very memoriable.

The perfect picture!! by Tori Schoonover (Johnson City, NY, US)

This drawing of my 3 dogs was the best gift I've ever received. The accuracy was absolutely unbelievable. It's like my dogs are staring back at me. I can't recommend this company enough. I would give them 10 stars if I could !!!

Amazing by Robert Buel (Youngsville, NC, US)

I was a little skeptical of using a service like this having spent some time in art. But the process was smooth and simple, the team was very responsive, and the end product made my wife ball her eyes out.

Kittensby Vikki Milsted (Mill Creek, WA, US)

the artist captured the kittens perfectly and did an outstanding job! This is the 3rd time I've purchased drawings from myDavinci and I couldn't be happier! Definitely a returning customer...

Violet Bank Museum Watercolorby Pamela Wallace (Colonial Heights, VA, US)

Words cannot express how pleased I was with this piece. This was a gift for a parting council member and was presented to him last evening. Our Mayor and the entire City Council was exceptionally pleased with the quality of the piece. I will be using myDaVinci again for my personal items and most likely again, as well, for gifts such as this.

Weiss house portrait by Shelley Weiss (Gales Ferry, CT, US)

Working with your team was a very pleasant surprise in this time of dubious customer service! You were patient, polite, and so accommodating to my various modification requests. The likeness came out wonderfully, small color corrections were spot on and the final product is beautiful. It is accurate but also artistic, with a soft natural homey feel. Thank you!

Picture Perfect!by Stephanie VanDevere (Akron, OH, US)

This is my 3rd purchase from myDaVinci and I am once again more than satisfied!! The artist did an awesome job! I emailed several photos with request and he put together the perfect picture on the first try! The service was super fast! I had a last minute thought for a gift and I had the finished product (digital) in under a week! I will continue to use this site for special gifts!

Pretty in pinkby Paul Wells (San Tan Valley, AZ, US)

Love the piece. It was made of and for our grand daughter. The company was willing to do a few requested changes during the preview stage and it turned out great.

Great work!by Jessica (San Diego, CA, US)

I am thrilled with how this picture of my mother-in- law’s dogs turned out. Both of them recently passed away and I wanted her to have something special to remember them by. My Davinci was so easy to work with and made the buying process so smooth! They are a great company to use and their products are amazing. My mother has used them for gifts for me and they have both been amazing!

Father and Sonby Jill Kingslien (La Vernia, TX, US)

I got the first piece when my son was almost 1 for my husband's first Father's Day. I have gotten a father/son picture done about every 3 years. Our son is 15 now and this is the 5th one. It is a wonderful chronical of their relationship as he has grown up. Beautiful work as always. Excellent communication, rapid response and item well packaged and sent promptly.

GORGEOUS by betsy graham (norton, MA, US)

IT WAS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR MY SON. HE WAS ABSOLUTELY THRILLED, HE COULDN'T GET OVER HOW IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE THE PHOTO I HAD SENT, RIGHT DOWN TO THE FRECKLE ON HIS DAUGHTER'S CHEEK. YOUR WORK IS AMAZING !!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE TO USE YOUR COMPANY IF THEY WANT A PERSONAL AND SENTIMENTAL GIFT FOR THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE IN THEIR LIVES. SINCERELY BETSY GRAHAM

Ink Drawn Homeby Casey Scott-Mitchell (Phoenix, AZ, US)

Fast service, exactly what I was looking for, and the framing looked really nice. This will be the perfect present for a friends' wedding anniversary!

Maggie Too our German Shepherdby David L. Heeres (Sequim, WA, US)

This is our second print from My DaVinci. Our first was of our German shepherd Heidi. The prints are quite good and the staff are professional and accommodating. But, more importantly, our dog Maggie Too believes that My DaVinci captured her beauty extremely well. Woof, woof!

Excellent 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.

Women's cowboy hat on barnby DENNIS R KELLY (EXETER, CA, US)

As usual, I received this item within 7 days of placing my order and it was exactly as described. The personalization was correct, properly placed and centered. This was a gift and they were in awe of the quality and the fact that such a site even existed to purchase this type of gift. I will continue to be a loyal customer until you run me off ! Thanks again for you professional efforts to supply a quality product.

Isabella and Mommyby Eric DeLisle (Pasadena, MD, US)

Beautiful work and fast turnaround! Surprised my wife for her 1st mother's day. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!

Gift Certificate by Patricia Gliniecki (Lake Villa, IL, US)

I really like the card stock and that the message was imprinted on it. My only comment would be to include an envelope option even if you charge for it. This was a baby gift. I have had other artwork done by your company in the past and have always been amazed at the superb talent. Artwork can last a lifetime and cherished for many generations to come. Thank you, I appreciate all you do!

My childrenby Jeremy H. (Eugene, OR, US)

Was hoping to catch the emotion and feeling of my children in this particular moment, One of which may only have meaning to me and my wife as we were there, but I feel did a great job as that anyone sees it would love it. I was really thrilled on how it came out and we do it all over again just the same if I had to. Super pleased!

Perfect Reproduction of Dogsby David Brooks (Cambridge, ON, CA)

This service is amazing. I sent a photo with instructions to remove background noise and the harnesses from the three dogs. The artists reproduced not just the appearance of the dogs, but even seemed to capture the character of the dogs through the eyes. The cock-a-poo in the drawing was 17 years old and just lived a couple weeks longer after the photo. We are happy to be able to memorialize her with her puppy friends, the 2 pugs.

10/10by Allison Smith (Mount Ida, AR, US)

The artist did such an amazing job, they even gave a preview and the opportunity to ask to make a change to the painting if needed. I can’t thank them enough for this priceless painting. It will be cherished forever.

Wow, great experience all aroundby Joshua (OH, US)

I found myDaVinci by accident, and it turned out to be a good accident. I was able to browse and find the image that met my needs the most, and have myDaVinci's artists customize to really bring it home. From the order process, to the digital review, to the actual receipt of the painting it went flawlessly. It's truly an original gift, one my wife was thrilled to get and immediately put up on our mantel for all to see. If you're looking for something different for a friend or family member's next birthday, or a holiday, look no further. I will definitely be purchasing another in the future.

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.

Caliby Stephen Todd (Parksville, BC, CA)

Wow, this was my second drawing purchased and have been extremely happy with the result. Very accommodating and I felt through both purchases they were intent on making sure they had the drawing to my absolute satisfaction. I would definitely refer (and have) myDaVinci to anyone looking for a keepsake drawing.

Exactly what we wanted!by Jessica Kaufman (New York, NY, US)

We ordered a watercolor portrait of our family friends’ longtime home for a Christmas present, and it turned out beautifully. They loved it!

Beautiful pencil drawing!by Karen Plew (Pleasant Valley, NY, US)

We are very pleased with our colored pencil drawing of our dog, Finnegan! The company was a pleasure to work with, and even accepted a modification request. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Workby Scott Turner (Los Alamos, NM, US)

My husband gave this family portrait to me as a gift. The sketch is beautifully done! Making special requests was a snap--removing a few items that cluttered the image and specifying eye colors. Some of the faces are more accurately portrayed than others, but they all look quite good. Turn around on the order was quick and having the opportuntiy to review the proof let us recommend changes prior to receiving the final product. I would recommend My DaVinci for the perfect personal gift--we plan on returning!

Another great job!by Margaret Weber (Hauppauge, NY, US)

This is the fifth hand drawn color pencil I ordered. Each one is perfect and looks exactly like the photo that was sent to DaVinvi to create the drawing. This drawing was particularly difficult because the baby had a frown in all her Baptism pictures. We asked DaVinci to use a photo of the baby smiling from a different photo and superimpose it onto the Baptism photo. No one could tell that the drawing was actually from two different photographs! FYI - make sure you check if you are ordering the layout in landscape or portrait. Not realizing the drawing's layout was landscape, I approved it. When the drawing arrived, I discovered the error. DaVinici was very accommodating and told me to return the drawing and they corrected the layout. I highly recommend DaVinci because of their talented artists and great customer service.

REVIEWby Deborah Conaway (UNIONTOWN, PA, US)

THIS WILL BE A NICE SURPRISE FOR MY FATHER'S 90TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.
