Always very satisfiedby Katherine Wicke (Hereford, AZ, US)

This particular caricature is the sixth one I've had made up in the last year. As I've always been.... I was very satisfied, and pleased with how it came out. The artists at My DaVinci have always worked with me and made any corrections and/or additions that I requested. These make terrific, and fun gifts that everyone I've given them to, has truly enjoyed. I'm sure I'll be having more made up in the near future.

The perfect baptism giftby Elizabeth Stock (Hanover, PA, US)

Wanted to get a gift that they could keep. I had used myDaVinci before and always loved the results. So I knew this would be the perfect gift. It was more than perfect. If you are looking for a very special gift, you will not be disappointed. Your gift will be a gift that lasts for years..

Awesome 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!

Beautiful 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!

Drew's Photo Artby Manny Corallo (Wesley Chapel, FL, US)

Great Job! We ordered this as a Christmas gift for my boss. We made a few tweaks to our order and MyDaVinci responded to our requests in a timely and accommodating manner. My boss received this gift yesterday and he absolutely loved it! Thank you!!

Great artworkby Magen Vanlanduyt (McHenry, IL, US)

Order went smoothly aside from me having a hard time finding a photo that was big enough to be able to get all the details. Obviously is not the artist fault but mine. They did a great job

Got exactly what I wanted by Erika (Springfield, TN, US)

I had not purchased a watercolor before, so I was skeptical, but it turned out exactly how I was hoping. I had to make a few revisions to this piece, and the artist did exactly as requested. It’s a beautiful piece and didn’t take long to get at all. I would have expected longer with such a large picture. Thank you!!

Michaelby Rita Weber (Kenosha, WI, US)

Perfect. My best friend will appreciate. This print is of her husband age 50 who died of covid recently. Her son actually took this picture of his Dad, so it means a lot. Thanks again!

Mountain in Coloradoby Barbara Mamon (West Seneca, NY, US)

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.

Wedding Giftby Frances Archer (CAMLACHIE, ON, CA)

The wedding date has not arrived yet however we are quite confident the newlyweds will love it. We have given mydavinci art work at two other weddings and it was a big hit both times. From the ordering to delivery right to my front door, it was all so quick & so easy.

Amazing CS and Productby Nick Davaloz (Canton, MI, US)

I read several reviews online about myDaVinci and decided to get an anniversary drawing from them. I was a little skeptical (as I always am) but felt great about my purchase once I reached out and asked a question. The Customer Service rep responded quickly and able to help me out throughout the process. The piece that I got back was AMAZING! The quality is worth the price and I will 100% recommend this site to anyone who is looking for such a present/gift!

Beautiful work of art!by Ebonie Harris (Redford, MI, US)

Words cannot begin to express how happy I was with the beautiful portrait of my dog. I submitted the photo of my beloved, Jubilee the day after she passed away from a long illness. The artist captured the essence of my girl better than the photo I submitted. I will definitely have them create another piece of art for me! Thank you for the wonderful work!

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 !!!

Beautiful Rendition of Oliveby Melissa McCane (Scottsdale, AZ, US)

My friends who lost their precious "Olive" were so touched by this beautiful artwork of her. It was the perfect gift to them to honor her sweet soul! Thank you for the wonderful service and wonderful work.

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!!

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!!

Perfect!by Ann Runkel (Chelan, WA, US)

I have ordered several of these now as gifts for family members. It is such a great way to capture a memory and special moment. The drawings have all been an excellent representation of subject. Also appreciate how easy to order online and how quickly I received .

My First Drawingby gladys miles (virginia beach, VA, US)

I wanted to try a drawing rendition of a favorite photo and must say, the end result was quite impressive. One gets a chance to ask for modifications if required which I did and as stated am happy with the end result. The service was good and I received my drawing in a cardboard tube. The timing was very good too.

Pencil Sketch of homeby J. Carter Breed (Houston,, TX, US)

I was very pleased with DaVinci's quick response to my inquiry. Their website was easy to use. The artist submitted a proof to review quickly. The artwork was ready quickly as well. The longest part of the process was the mailing but I did not select express shipping.

Something Moreby Richard J. Kolbasowski Jr. (Rockwell, NC, US)

Our family pet recently passed away and we wanted something special that we could honor and remember her by. We chose myDaVinci since they created a pet portrait for us in the past. When we received the drawing, we could not believe the detail and how life-like it was. I don't know how they did it, but the artist captured our little girl's spirit and personality perfectly. We are so grateful to myDaVinci for giving us not just a drawing, but a way to connect and remember the years of joy and love we felt for our girl JoJo; a love we still feel today and will always cherish. Thank you myDaVinci!

Beautiful pictureby Cathy Brans (Ste Genevieve , MO, US)

Ordered this as a Christmas gift for my husband. We lost both of our dogs this year to old age. I was a little skeptical of using internet artists, but thought a watercolor of them together would be a great present. Sent a photo of the two and it turned out perfect. Can’t wait to see his face when he opens it Christmas morning. A PERFECT rendition of our babies. Thank you so much!

My Clients Were So Pleased!by Marianne Thelin (Portland, OR , US)

Big Shout Out to MyDaVinci! Another realtor gave me the idea to provide a sketch of a well loved home to the owners that were moving out of state! MyDaVinci exceeded my expectations! The art was beautiful and my clients are so happy to have their well loved home memorialized! I will call on MyDaVinci again!

Home portraitby Susan Bezek (Penfield, NY, US)

I received a gift certificate to MyDavinci from friends when they knew I would be selling my home. The home I was selling was the one we raised our family in. I had the opportunity to take pictures of the house during the spring when our weeping cherry tree was in blossom. The watercolor of my home captured it beautifully and will be a keepsake for years to come. One piece of advice for others would be to be mindful in selecting a frame. The frame I chose was wider than I anticipated.

Even better than the real Andy!!by Veronica Torres (Toronto, ON, CA)

I was looking for the perfect personalized gift and ordered the myDaVinci Andy Warhol 4-panel for my boyfriend for Christmas. What a massive success it was! It got rave reviews from all my family and friends! The colors are amazing, bright and vivid! I ordered it on canvas and it looked just like the real deal! Andy Warhol move over!! myDaVinci is amazing!! I've ordered many items from myDaVinci but this by far was my FAVORITE! We hung it up in my house and get a great response from visitors!! THANKS MYDAVINCI!!! You've got yourself a life-long customer!!

Perfect - Captured Every Detail by Denise Slifer (Naples, FL, US)

I couldn’t be happier with this pencil sketch of my home! The artist captured every detail beautifully — from the texture of the brick to the gentle shading of the trees, it’s absolutely stunning. The sketch feels so personal and full of warmth, perfectly reflecting the character of the house. You can tell it was created with real care and talent. It’s now framed in our living room, and everyone who visits comments on how amazing it looks. A true keepsake that I’ll treasure for years! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful, timeless piece of art.

Fabulous Pencil Art Drawingby Lodina Lepard (Feeding Hills, MA, US)

I was thrilled to see the beautiful finished pencil art drawn by Candy. She did a phenomenal job of depicting Hazel, which looks just like the beautiful dog she is!!! My son and his wife were so excited when they opened the present and immediately displayed it in their home! I would highly recommend mydavinci.com to anyone wanting a treasured gift!

First tryby Joshua Hofstetter (Crownsville, MD, US)

To be honest I was very worried how this would turn out... I really didn't know to expect!!! Paid the money, e-mailed back a forth a time or 2, then BOOM package in the mail and I was very happy with the results!!!! My face (the mans face) could have been slightly better but honestly this is such a bit! Made for a really awesome gift to my High School teacher!!! Thank you myDaVinci!

Giftby Ann Kropelnicki (Mooresville, IN, US)

I had this done as a gift for my son. His beloved fur-baby had recently passed. I was thrilled with the results. I received the sample within a day and after the approval, received finished portrait within just a few days. Beyond happy with the final product!

Lynda’s houseby Jan (Buchanan, MI, US)

I am beyond pleased with my piece of art, a housewarming gift for my best friend. The myDaVinci artists perfectly captured the character, charm and spirit of the home, and did a phenomenal job of adding in a few touches I requested. 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.

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.
