Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits on Wood from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings on Wood from PhotosPerfect 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!!

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoBest gift ever!!!by Jennifer Smith (Franklin, TN, US)

I had the most wonderful experience with my DaVinci artwork. I had so many questions, and changes and the staff was always professional and replied quickly. The artwork itself was better then I could have imagined. I will use them again and I recommend them highly to anyone looking for a fab, one of a kind piece of artwork!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsLOVE IT!!!by Lori McGartland (Folsom, CA, US)

The pencil sketch was a wedding gift for my son. It is his favorite picture from one of their very first dates. The artist worked closely with me to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. Will definitely keep this company in mind for future presents!

This watercolor has the perfect amount of color and detail to showcase our hospital! It makes a great gift for a loyal volunteer and myDaVinci was so easy to work with....they sent a proof quickly and once approved the painting arrived not long after. Will definitely use them again.

Conductor Girl Caricature from PhotoConducting Caricature Purchased by me for my Website!by Judith Galasek (Oak Park, IL, US)

At my age, it is a special treat to see a slim body attached to my face! And, even though the pictures I submitted were fairly recent, you made me look good! First, I made it my Facebook profile picture, and received some nice feedback. Now is on LinkedIn and my music website, and I'm very happy to use it! Thanks for your quick work!

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosPerfect 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.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosA great experience!by Leslie Webb (St. Albert, AB, CA)

Ordered this as a wedding gift and from the start the experience was great. Communication from and with myDavinci was prompt and always kept me up to date with where the product was at. The product was ordered, done, and received in a very short time period-about 2 weeks- and the couple loved it. Will definitely use this site again

This is the greatest company with the best artists, I order many things from them and it’s always above and beyond.

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoEverything I hoped for...by Julianne Olson (Seattle, WA, US)

The result of the photo I sent in was amazing. The pop art of my granddaughter was perfect. It was a gift for my daughter and son-in-law and when they opened it, it was so great to see their jaws actually drop. They were stunned and so surprised. The communication between myself and myDaVinci was excellent. They really delivered with a wonderful product which was delivered exactly at the time they promised. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosDad's champions!by Julie Belcher (Russellville, KY, US)

The first couple of drawings needed some changes but finally it came out perfect. This was taken at the funeral home when my father died, this is why he is drawn lighter than everyone else. The photo we used had everyone in black. So I asked them to change the color of the women's dresses. They also changed the color of everyones eyes because it was difficult to see in the photo. Everything turned out perfect. It was amazing. I will always recommend their service.

Great communication, beautiful piece of art that will mean so much to the recipient

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsThe 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 !!!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsUnbelievableby Autumn Sullivan (Glen Allen, VA, US)

I was floored by the authenticity of the portrait done. The picture is two of our loved ones that passed last year. They were able to merge two different pictures to create the finished product. This is not the first time I've ordered from MyDavinci & certainly will not be the last!

Dragon Slayer Caricature from PhotosWow, 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.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMy daughter & granddaughterby Donna Emerick (Bridgeport, NE, US)

In searching online for an unusual, memorable gift for my daughter's first Mother's Day, I found your site. The order process was very easy and I was DELIGHTED with the picture. I love the fact that I was able to preview the artwork and request changes before it was shipped to me. My daughter is one of those who rarely, rarely cries, but when she saw the lovely pencil sketch, she sobbed. Thank you! My only "complaint" would be that I didn't receive my artwork in time for Mother's Day because I requested a change, and it slowed down receipt of the artwork by several days. This wasn't a problem for me because it turned out that I didn't see my daughter until a few days after Mother's Day. So, if ordering for a special occasion, be sure to order well in advance. Bottom line--I love the artwork so much that I am ordering again for my son-in-law for Father's Day! Thanks again!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMaggie 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!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoAmazing 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.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsHand drawn pet photoby Kristine Brass (Pennington, NJ, US)

This is my second purchase from myDavinci. Both experiences were great. The ordering process is simple, myDavinci is responsive, they provide a preview of the work before it is finalized so you can request edits. Both of the items I purchased were gifts and the recipients love them.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoLovely watercolorby Lynn Polan (Chatham Township, NJ, US)

My Da Vinci did a wonderful job turning our photo into a painting. The artist was very responsive to requests for modifications and we are very happy with the final result. Thanks to My Da Vinci.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosColored pencil drawingby Nancy Seleski (Harris, MN, US)

An unbelievable colored pencil drawing of my love, Ruger. It absolutely captures the essence of him. I could not be more satisfied. Will definitely be a repeat customer. I have a similar piece of artwork for my first cocker spaniel, Pepper. This is equally, if not better, as good. Treasures for sure!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsBreathtaking!!by Ashley Johnson (Ellsworth, ME, US)

This is my second portrait from myDavinci, but my first piece with two individuals, and I'm once again brought to tears with this final result. The artist once again has made a masterpiece - this is just breathtaking & will bring tears to the individual whom my boyfriend & I are giving this too, as this holds a very high sentimental meaning. myDavinci is 2/2 in my book - I'll be returning for many more portraits in the future. Thank you so much myDavinci & the artist who worked on this for me - your team is amazing!!

We couldn't have hoped for a better outcome on the watercolor of our home and landscaping. Everything was executed perfectly, from the timely messages from customer service, to the tweak in color I requested, to the outstanding finished piece. We are beyond pleased!

His Graduation II Caricature for Him from PhotoHis graduation caricatureby Beatrice Perron (Harlingen, TX, US)

Excellent and quick service. I had to make a little revision before the final submission. They took care of it immediately and re-sent my revision for observation. It was perfect! It was fast! Cost was moderate. I highly recommend their service.

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!!!!!

Surfer Chick Caricature from PhotoFoxy the Surfer Girlby Kim Voorhees (Piscataway, NJ, US)

I have a shore house and I had a caricature done of my 3 little dogs. I then got a 4th little one...and I had to have her on the wall with the others...so I had MyDaVinci do a new one of Foxy. We put her up this past weekend next to the other one we already have. Love MyDaVinci. I have had pencil sketches also done by them. The turn around, quality and most of all the art work talent is top notch. Thank you.
