Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosMadam Nicoleby Gracie Adderly (Fayetteville, NC, US)

I purchased this as a gift for a friend that recently purchased a new home. The recipient was in tears. The painting was spot on! It will look perfect over the Fireplace. This is not my first time purchasing from myDavinci. I've made several purchases. The talent is superb! The painting is exquisite... appearing a bit more appealing than the original photo. The price is reasonable- considering the great talent. Of course, I'll be back!

Paris Pop from Photoscaptures my parents beautifully! by Mike DiCarlo (Long Valley, NJ, US)

The original of this photo of my parents was just black and white, and was one of those tiny photo booth photos that they probably had taken before they were married. So I had to guess at the colors. I loved the Paris pop art style, it merged the old with the new. The artist did a great job working with me based on my preferences. Thank you!

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!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsBoazby Cindy Elliott (Mansfield, MO, US)

The sketch was just what I was hoping for. It has touched both me and my husbands heart and we get to see it everyday. The memories it brings are mostly wonderful, although some sad too.

Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosPerfectly fulfilled orderby E. VOZZA (PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL, US)

Very satisfied with myDaVinci at every level. The artistry (color pencil sketch) was suberb - so effective that it brought the recipient to tears. Service the best - and so thoughtful that myDaVinci actually managed to meet a tight deadline when I needed the artwork. And customer service was understanding and polite in addressing questions I had in the process. I have ordered a few and various works of art from myDaVinci and never been disappointed.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch Artistspencil sketchby ANNE MARIE CALIENDO (COMMACK, NY, US)

This is the second time i'm purchasing from mydavinci - and both times the results are amazing! The first was a pencil sketch of my newborn twins - it was a unique and wonderful first father's day gift for my husband. The artist was so patient with me as we got the twins faces just right! The second was a sketch of a friends brand new house. The builder of this home - who ended up seeing the sketch - couldn't believe how beautiful it was - and my friend loved it. What a unique and reasonably priced gift! I'm a customer for life. And, the turnaround time cannot be beat!

Comic Book Portraits from PhotosRave Amiby Nicole Anderson (Pittsburgh, PA, US)

It arrived in enough bubble wrap where I could make a dress out of it :) Very well packed for protection because you know how the delivery services love a Fragile sticker. Ken did another order of one of my friends and he is really awesome at detail and following instruction on what to change. I thank you for animating not only my friends and their music journeys and look forward in getting some more artwork in this style!

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.

had a couple of issues at the beginning with billing that got resolved but for that the experience was a great success. The print was delivered on time for a birthday gift and the recipient is overjoyed with the level of detail. Nice work to all at myDivinci.

The water color version of our family's beloved cabin in Colorado is lovely, and l look forward to giving them to our children as a reminder of their heritage.

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.

Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosOur Pennyby Sharon Stern (Cincinnati, OH, US)

I am very please with the finished art work of the photo I had submitted. This is going to be a birthday present for my husband, after all this is his little buddy. The artist truly caught the expression of her eyes when she looks at him. Thank you again, this will be one of his best gifts ever!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsFabulous workmanship!by Gail Labuda (Saugus, MA, US)

I had this sketch made for my daughter and husband and family who are moving to new home. I thought this sketch would make a perfect "housewarming" gift for them to remind them of their "first" home. I am thrilled with the results. I will give the gift in a month, and I can't wait for the happy reaction. My daughter and husband will love this picture!! Job well done. Thank you so much!!!!!

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosBeautiful depiction of parents' homeby Laura Donorfio (Middlebury, CT, US)

This colored pencil work was purchased by me and my siblings as a gift for our parents and they absolutely loved it. As soon as my mom saw it she said with excitement, "It's our house." She immediately took down another picture they had hanging in their home and replaced it with this. I highly recommend the artwork as well as the matting and framing. It's worth it!

Overall, I felt this to be excellent. I did need to go back a couple of times to request modification of the drawing but this was done promptly and to my instructions. And, as a gift, the persons receiving it were so delighted. We would most definitely consider using myDaVinci again. Very, very good!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsAmazing workby Jason Dehne (Sheboygan, WI, US)

This is such a fantastic piece. I had this made for my wife who recently lost her grandmother and never had a good picture of them together. Add in that you were also able to add her mother who passed when she was very young makes this such a precious gift for her. The work is impeccable, and everyone was very kind through the process. It was also done very quickly and shipped in a couple days. Thank you for helping with this and brining such joy to her face when she recieved it.

Hello, it was a good surprise Birthday gift for my nephew. Now I am contemplating using your services for another photo. I really like the detail in the artwork. So, life like in action with this particular piece that carries from a small photo to a large piece of artwork.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoMet All Expectationsby Andrew Darlington (Denver, CO, US)

I was very pleased with every step of the process. Ordering was efficient, reviewing the initial proof was prompt, delivery was quick and most importantly, my client loved the finished product. It was the first piece of art they hung in their new home. Will certainly order again.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosDad and sonsby Patricia Sherman (Texarkana, TX, US)

I love my picture!! My husband passed away and in looking for pictures for the visitation I realized it had been years since we had taken a picture of him with our two boys!! I contacted My DaVinci on line, found several snapshots of the three of them and told them what I wanted. They did a fantastic job.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsVery, very happy!by Daniel Guiley (Springfield, OR, US)

This was my 2nd time having a picture drawn and both times it's been perfect. Great communication throughout the process, if you have any requests or questions they work with you to make sure it's exactly what you want. Both were purchased as gifts for friends and they were completely blown away both times. Thank you!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch Artiststablescapeby Rika Peterson (Sioux Falls, SD, US)

The sketch represents the picture perfectly. The details and dimensions are what makes it so special. This tablescape represents the meeting of two sets of parents before a year full of exciting events: an engagement and a wedding! I love that this memory will live on through art.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsSalem Ctby Ric Miller (McDonough, GA, US)

The spouse to one of the owner's passed away suddenly last March. I was asked by the family to help the surviving spouse sell the home. Obviously the process on this one was emotional x2. But, we got it done. As a realtor, I don't know why I hadn't thought about this as a parting gift before. My client accepted this as a heartfelt keepsake. It was exactly the right touch. I'm going to make this my closing gift every time.
