Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoStupendousby Lauren Cohen (Plymouth, MA, US)

This is a gift for my son and his girlfriend who just got a puppy. When I received it, I was blown away!!!! It is PERFECT! Customer service was amazing and very responsive. I will definitely be purchasing again in the near future.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsTalented artistryby Thomas O'Shay (Woodbridge, VA, US)

I contracted this pencil sketch of a photograph for someone whose parrot passed away unexpectedly, so I had a high bar for the artist to meet. They exceeded my expectations! They were patient with making the changes I wanted, and the sketch turned out perfect. The recipient of the sketch was ecstatic at how the artist captured the subject, and the owner of the frame store we visited was impressed with the quality of the artist. I definitely plan on contracting for more artwork with MyDaVinci!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGranddaughter by Brenda Miller (Bethlehem , PA, US)

I wasn’t completely happy with the first draft but they made the adjustment I asked for and was completely satisfied with the final product. My granddaughter passed away in June and now we can preserve this special picture of her forever and always remember her every time we see it

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosResting Peacefullyby Jane Schaefer (Batesville, IN, US)

The process was user friendly, the artist did a fabulous job. Everyone I shared it with could not believe how well captured he was. What the artist does not know, is that my best friend and dearest lab passed away just days before I found my DaVinci. It has been a difficult journey to say the least but this piece of art makes it a tad bit easier. Thank you!

Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosSuperb artwork and service. by Irving Apar (Floral Park, NY, US)

When we heard Oprah’s strong endorsement, we suspected we would get a good product. Well we were right. The artwork based on our niece and nephew’s new home was incredible. It captured a precious family moment and the whole family loves it. We were very fussy and asked for a few changes, which were done very well and without complaint. The service was as top notch as the product. We would do this again!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsKoko in the mirrorby Jan Bergeson (Kansas City, MO, US)

This is from one of the last photos taken of our precious Koko who we adopted over 14 years ago. She lived to be 15+ years old. We could not be happier about the way this pencil drawing turned out. I would recommend myDaVinci to anyone looking for a drawling of a pet, their home, or special person(s).

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoGranddaughter in Gardenby Jaylene Jensen (Urbandale, IA, US)

This watercolor is so beautiful and done so well. The first one I received the haircoloring was a little blonde, I requested to redo it to look more auburn. It is perfect. I can't say enough good things about this website and it's artists. I have had four watercolors done and they're all so special.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMulti subject pencil sketchby Sharon Miller (Ponce Inlet, FL, US)

I wanted my 5 grandchildren’s faces combined into one sketch. They took my individual photos and combined them perfectly into one beautiful drawing. I was blown away at how realistic it was.

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!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsOur Otisby Petra Brooks (Hinesville, GA, US)

Though I saw the beautiful art examples you provided on your website, I doubted that an artist would be able to capture our Otis in a way that would move us... Well, when we opened the packet and pulled out the art, we both cried... Needless to say, the artist could not have done a better job. We were so very moved, and though it made us sad again that he is now gone, we are so happy to have this beautiful image of Otis to display. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Ocean Leisure Chairs - Pencil Sketch Print with Custom TextBeach 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.

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosExcellent work and great service!by Elmer Tolentino (Livermore, CA, US)

This company was very patient and professional, helping me getting the work done to my satisfaction and in a timely manner. I actually did not approve the first 3 versions of the work but it did not matter. They continued to work with me through the various interations until I was completely happy. The final work of art was done beautifully and the look on my Wife's face when she saw the portrait will forever be remembered. Thanks MyDaVinci! I am a customer for life. Jon from California

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from Photosink drawing from photoby Rosemary Vacc (Highland Heights, OH, US)

I found the staff very helpful and accommodating. when asked if I wished changes, in error, I failed to include one other change--I However was very pleased with the rendering, and the service. You worked with me although the quality of the photo was substandard for this.

LeonardoSo very happy....by Guy Ehlers (Casper, WY, US)

We had asked for my wife to appear as the Mona Lisa, and myself to appear as an observer in a museum. The result was better than we could have hoped for... the images looked just like us, and the detail was incredible. The artist captured the perfect perspective, added details such as ropes, wooden floor, floor molding, perfect lighting and shadows in a hallway... just incredible detail. Many folks have seen this and we have received very positive comments. We could not be happier !!

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits on Wood from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings on Wood from PhotosLove this company's work productby Melissa Crowe (Boca Raton, FL, US)

This is the 5th piece I’ve bought from myDavinci and I am always looking for more pictures to turn into art with my grand kids. They make a beautiful statement and all who see them have great things to say about them.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoBeautiful re-creationby Reena Chokshi (Houston, TX, US)

I ordered a watercolor as a gift. It’s a picture of a relative’s home during the Northern Lights event. I sent in my photo and explained what details I wanted changed (it’s an outdoor scene so I cut out people walking by, etc). Within a short period I was sent a beautiful display that will be an amazing keepsake! So impressed!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoExcellent serviceby Elizabeth Gallagher (Brooklyn , NY, US)

I can’t say enough about my experience with mydavinci... I wanted to have a painting done of my parents' old summer bungalow which has since been knocked down. I found 2 old photos which they were able to successfully merge into one. They gave me 2 or 3 opportunities to modify what they had completed. The photos were only of the front door with their dog sitting in front so I was a little concerned about how good it would come out. Wondered if it was enough to make a successful painting. Well, they did an amazing job!! The details they were able to include from old fuzzy pictures is astounding! My moms' eyes welled up with tears when she saw it! We can’t stop looking at it! I highly recommend!!!

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosHappy Wifeby Monte Small (Bridgeport, WV, US)

My wife was very happy with her Christmas gift, an oil painting of her picking out our new puppy. Customer service was very helpful with the preparatory process, the artist did a masterful job, and shipping was quick. I would highly recommend myDaVinci.com!

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 Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMe and my boyfriendby Cathryn Samson (Huntley, IL, US)

I was so pleased with my pencil sketch. The sketch was better than the photo. The artist sketched the missing part of the female face and it was accurate and done perfectly. You would not know that 1/4 of the photo was missing. I received my sketch rather quickly and I would highly recommend DaVinci Photo Art to anyone.

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosExceptional workby Christopher Dahlberg (Memphis, TN, US)

My son has just purchased a new home and is likely to move in for the holidays. When I saw a write up about this company in a newspaper, I began thinking this would be a great Christmas present. The artwork is wonderful. We have framed it and have it ready for the holidays. I appreciate the good communication throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this company.

Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosBeautiful 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!

This was a gift for my father, who is in a nursing home with Parkinson’s. All I wanted was something to make him smile, since he has lost the ability to do that easily. This did it!

This is a beautiful piece of work. Thank you to the artist who drew it You created a beautiful memory for us.
