Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPerfectionby Luke (Powells Point, NC, US)

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. I purchased this piece for a memory shadow box for my wife. I will absolutely be recommending this site to anyone I know looking for handcrafted artwork.

Would highly recommend this service. After losing another pet, we wanted to have a portrait. We could not be happier with the way this turned out. It really brings out the personality the two family meme era had. Thank you

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch Artists50th Birthday Gift by Sharon Laarz (Bear, DE, US)

We are thrilled with the artwork. This is the 6th pencil sketch ordered for a family member. We give one for each person on their 50th birthday depicting his/her 3-4 yr old self. The unfortunate part is that you charge way too much for framing, $87. I had to mat and frame it myself.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMy daughter’s horseby Michelle Sutton (Meadville, PA, US)

I decided for Christmas I would get my daughter a pencil drawing of her horse. The picture turned out perfect and she loved it. I also purchased one for my husband, he was also pleased with the quality. I will be purchasing three more of our other horses in the near future.

Couple Caricature from Photo - Riding Thru the Fields TogetherPerfect Gift! by Shelly Walden (Dunkirk, MD, US)

Wonderful artwork! I love this one of my son and his girlfriend. I ordered two recently. The other was for an office of 29 people, we had a few adjustments before getting the final but myDaVinci was very easy to work with and patiently made adjustments and sent back until it was perfect.

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 Painted Oil Painting Portraits from Photos | Photo to Oil PaintingPerfect!by Barbara E. (Southeastern PA, US)

Not only did the oil painting capture such a fantastic memory of our little guy, they were able to improve the quality of the photo to get an even better image to work from. This is my fourth purchase from myDavinci and I recommend them to my friends all the time. Looking forward to my fifth purchase.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGrandma Lizby Chyna Riley (Columbia, SC, US)

I absolutely loved the portrait. The portrait was very detailed and looked exactly like the original picture. It was a sentimental gift that really touched my mom’s heart for Christmas this year. I would definitely use this company again in my future purchases. Very professional and time efficient.

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.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPerfection by Chelsea Haynes (Buford, GA, US)

I decided to have this drawing done for my boyfriend after his grandfather passed away. I cannot begin to explain how amazing the drawing turned out. I was even told the picture I sent in was hard to tell details and the artist still knocked it out of the park. I will most definitely use them again in the future. My boyfriend was more than impressed with his extremely sentimental gift. Thank you for making my idea come true.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoGrandkids fishing by Jaylene Jensen (Urbandale, IA, US)

This is my third watercolor I have ordered from this website, each one is of a grandchild. Their work is high quality and the detail work is so beautiful. They are so willing to work with you and give advice so the final picture is appreciated and turns out as good as possible. I would not hesitate to order again

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoJust Beautifulby Molly Flanagan (Petaluma, CA, US)

I ordered this watercolor of my parents’ beloved home for them after they down sized. They built this home from scratch and I thought they’d like a reminder of the legacy they’ve left. I was right. They were delighted with the Christmas gift. The details the artist included were perfect and I’m so grateful. Production and shipping were timely.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoFather's Day gift for the winby Erin Byrne (Arlington, VA, US)

My DaVinci soared above and beyond my expectations for this Father's day gift. They were able to work with me when my photo was too pixelated for an oil painting and helped me switch to a different style. The process was smooth and it is unreal how they were able to capture the photo so flawlessly. I am definitely the favorite kid this year.

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosJarjue weddingby kerry jarjue (Gilbert, AZ, US)

We absolutely love the painting you made from our photo. The painting came out better than the picture. To us it looks like we’re floating and our emotions that day we definitely were. It was so easy to order and the painting got to us in a very timely matter. Thank you so much for the beautiful art work.

Man Caricature as A Gamer from PhotoCaricature/video gamerby Karyna Busch (Atlanta, GA, US)

Such a great job! My husband really loves it! The artist customized a few things on the picture (a cat instead of a dog, couch color, tv screen made larger), and it looks just like we would want it to be resembling the real things across the room and on the wall. Talented artists, prompt email responses, timely follow up. Thank you very much!

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosVery 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.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from Photolovely transfigurationby Richard Fisher (CHICAGO, IL, US)

Pleasant and gratifying surprise at how the artwork turned out. The final product is a lovely, sui generis transfiguration of the original photo, which was well-cropped and formatted, keeping essential details and aligning everything correctly. After some initial tweeking, the work was completed expeditiously and mailed promptly, so it arrived here just after notification of send-off. Will follow up with more photo images to metamorphose!

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from Photoswatercolor artby Robert Damico (STAFFORD, VA, US)

I sent a picture for DaVinci to create a watercolor print for me. It came out great. They asked for my approval before sending to me and even made a few adjustments based on my comments. I'm getting ready to order another watercolor from them. Recommend them strongly for anyone seeking an unusual gift.

Service and product are exceptional!!

Personalized Mona Lisa Masterpiece from PhotoOutstanding!by Edward Leighton (COEUR D ALENE, ID, US)

I was truly WOWED! Creating orders with myDavinci is extremely easy. I simply sent in a background pic I had found and had myDavinci add my head from a photo. They even re-sized my head shot as requested. Shipping is fast and my art was very well packaged. I have made several purchases and have been extremely pleased with them all. I am looking forward to future purchases. I would highly recommend trusting myDavinci with your artistic creations.

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoShow Stopper!by Ann Marie Smith (Oakdale, PA, US)

What a brilliant product. When a visitor walks past it, they literally STOP to admire it. The questions are always the same-where did you get it, how did you think of it, how much was it, is it hard to place an order...Who knew I had so many fans-thanks to myDaVinci!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsRemembering Skipper Carlsonby Kimberley Carlson (Summerville, SC, US)

This was a beautiful portrait of our beloved baby Skipper who we have to send to the Rainbow Bridge when his bladder cancer finally made our happy boy tired and in pain. The process was easy. The company communicated well. The price was appropriate. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I am definitely looking at more ideas for Christmas and birthday presents.

Personalized American Gothic Masterpiece from PhotosAwesome!by Susan Walters (Mayer, AZ, US)

This turned out great!! I can hardly wait to hear my daughter’s reaction when she opens it for Christmas.
