Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsVery Pleased!by Brian Denney (Eubank, KY, US)

I'm so happy with this piece of art. This was a special gift for my wife for Christmas but I was so excited about it that I had to let her have the gift before Christmas. The sketch is a sketch of my wife and her parents. Her mother died last year and her father passed away this year. My wife really loves this sketch.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsHands of motherly love by Paula Shaker (Naples, FL, US)

After the passing of my daughter-in-law’s mother, I wanted to give a meaningful remembrance of their love and bond. On her final night, here on earth, the holding of hands and the sharing of memories were symbolic of a lifetime of love and caring. My daughter-in-law sent me a photo of she and her mother holding hands the night before her mother passed away. . The gesture spoke volumes to me so I wanted to preserve it in a very special way. My DaVinci was able to accomplish just that. The framed pencil sketch will be a treasured piece in my daughter-in-law’s home forever. Thank you for providing that. The quality and professionalism that you have shown is excellent; I will definitely use you again and will recommend your service to all of my friends!

Personalized Gift CertificateGift Certificate by Patricia Gliniecki (Lake Villa, IL, US)

I really like the card stock and that the message was imprinted on it. My only comment would be to include an envelope option even if you charge for it. This was a baby gift. I have had other artwork done by your company in the past and have always been amazed at the superb talent. Artwork can last a lifetime and cherished for many generations to come. Thank you, I appreciate all you do!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoWeiss house portrait by Shelley Weiss (Gales Ferry, CT, US)

Working with your team was a very pleasant surprise in this time of dubious customer service! You were patient, polite, and so accommodating to my various modification requests. The likeness came out wonderfully, small color corrections were spot on and the final product is beautiful. It is accurate but also artistic, with a soft natural homey feel. Thank you!

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!

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoBeautiful Art/POP ARTby shelley sigur (Savannah, GA, US)

I ordered this for my husband for Christmas I enjoy giving gifts that are unique I’ve ordered from Mydavinci before and they never disappoint. I originally ordered this in Hipster Art style and changed it to what you see below. It was easy to communicate with the artist online through email to make changes. I also had it framed. This was the first time having one framed by mydavinci. Excellent and quality work! I highly recommend this company and will definitely order again.

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosPERFECTby Marjie (Edison, NJ, US)

I purchased two of these, one for me and one for my son and fiancee. I couldn't be happier - in fact, I can't stop looking at it. It looks just like an oil painting and printed on excellent quality paper stock. This is my fourth purchase from myDaVinci (the first was about 15 years ago), and I've never been disappointed. They are definitely my "go to" for extra special gifts.

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!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGreat 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

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoTogetherby Linda Mathias (Winchester, VA, US)

I had an idea. Next began the search on the internet to take this idea and make it real. You did, and I love it! You very willingly made several changes and you did a beautiful job. Thanks to everyone who gave life to my idea.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsIncredible!by Dawn Hanson (Greenfield, IN, US)

This captures Randy perfectly. I can just feel his personality in this drawing. The ordering and approval process was simple to understand. I only wish I had received information about the artist. Did someone really draw this by hand? If so, I'd love to know a little about them!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoFamily Homeby Nicholas Thomas (Kowloon Tong, , HK)

This was a great present. A wonderful way to capture memories that mean so much to all of us. The ordering process was very smooth and the painter responded very quickly to our requests. When we had a query, the customer service was equally fast and professional. The finished product was very close to the original photo but with that added depth that only a painting has. I’d highly recommend DaVinci artworks.

This is the 2nd product I have ordered from MyDaVinci and I am super thrilled with their items. It exceeded my expectations and I recommend them whenever I can. Super special artwork, this of our 12 year old Australian Shepherd, our furbaby, my husband's anniversary gift. Thank you!

Personalized Renaissance Portrait Girl with a Pearl Earring from PhotoBetter than expected!!!by Kayla (Roswell, GA, US)

This came out better than expected! We did do a mini “photoshoot” to upload a picture where the face had the right angle and similar lighting. We only had the artist make one small modification (partially hide the ear) and it came out perfect!!! We love it so much!

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosA gift for my husbandby BRENDA HATLEY (HAZEL GREEN, AL, US)

I had this picture done of our dogs for my husband for his birthday. Our dogs are gone now but he misses them every day. Even though this was a bittersweet gift, he absolutely loved it and was amazed at how well the artist did at capturing the expressions from just a photo. He loved it and I love that! Thanks so much.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsWembleyby Marge Blatt (Lakewood, CO, US)

The photo we sent had red eye of some sort, and the artist made amazing eyes to make up for the bad photo. The portrait captured Wembley perfectly and we are very pleased, and know the family who we are giving the drawing to will as well. Good job!

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 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!
