Beautiful Work!!!by Molly Bath (Bethel, VT, US)

This was our 5th portrait from your company and we're always pleased with the results. With this one we were VERY specific, nitpicking details because we wanted it to look just right. We were so happy when it arrived, it looks just like him! And his grandmother LOVED her gift! <3. Thank you so much!!

Beginningby Judy Janovyak (Lockport, IL, US)

I needed this print for my daughter's baby shower and gave little notice. Unfortunately, though the print was completed, it didn't arrive in time to be at the shower. However, it was completed and shipped very quickly and is absolutely perfect! My daughter and son-in-law love it and it will be a keepsake for them to display this beautiful moment in their life for years to come. It turned out exactly as I had wanted and was delivered not only quickly, but safely so that the print was in perfect condition for framing. I highly recommend My DaVinci!

Outstanding and Uniqueby Eric Van Horn (Rio Rancho, NM, US)

This is the second time I have commissioned a piece of art but the first time from myDaVinci. First of all, giving a gift of original art is something really memorable and special. I commissioned a portrait of me and my daughter from a photo taken last Memorial Day, and I will give it to her as a gift for Christmas. One thing I like about commissioning art from a photo is that the artist can do all sorts of things that just can't be done in Photoshop. (Plus it is original art!) I wanted my t-shirt changed, and the original photo had way too much contrast. The artist did a wonderful job. I also requested - somewhat late in the process - to add in background details. Even though there was not much room, the artists did a wonderful job adding them in. It is also nice that you can get prints from the original. I bought one for myself. I have two modest criticisms. One is that it would have been nice to be able to preview how the original photo was to be cropped before they started the work. Second is that the range of papers, mats, and frames is limited. I have ordered prints from fine art printers, and they offer many different kinds of paper, mats, glass, and frames.

Great Artwork Drawing by Robert de Graaff (Noblesville, IN, US)

I had an old photo of my wife in her younger years. I was able to take a picture of it with my iPhone and submitted it for a pencil drawing. Even though it was not a professional photo, myDaVinci did a great job on a hand drawn pencil artwork. Family loved the artwork and all asked where I had it done.

Xmas presentby Turina Garner (Seattle, WA, US)

I loved the way it turned out. it was custom and i left it pretty open.. but the artist did a fantastic job and my parents loved it!! it got delivered just in time and was a breeze to communicate back and forth.. I'll keep it in mind in the future for gifts..

FANTASTIC by Robert Murdy (Barnesville, GA, US)

I knew when I got this headshot I wanted to do something special. And when I found the website on line it was my dream come true to have a Warhol like portrait. And they out did themselves. It's absolutely perfect. Thank you so much.

Excellent 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

Carbon copy of the photograph by Divya Bhat (VENICE, CA, US)

The artist did a fantastic job of capturing our beloved Molly who left our family at the age of 19. I had this made for my father who lost his greatest companion. This drawing brought him a tremendous amount of joy when he received it.

Lynda’s houseby Jan (Buchanan, MI, US)

I am beyond pleased with my piece of art, a housewarming gift for my best friend. The myDaVinci artists perfectly captured the character, charm and spirit of the home, and did a phenomenal job of adding in a few touches I requested. I am over the moon happy with the outcome of this piece and 110% satisfied with the quality of it as a heirloom for years to come.

Excellentby Jake Bell (Puyallup, WA, US)

Can't say enough good things about the drawing we had done. The detail is spot-on. Such a good price and quick turnaround. This gift is for my father and I cant wait for Christmas to come to see his reaction. I will definitely be using MyDavinci in the future when I need another hand drawn picture.

Not just for anniversariesby Judith Harch (Mullica Hill, NJ, US)

I love this print. I framed it with a beachy wood frame for a friend's birthday. She and her husband own a shore home, so the saying was perfect. Can't wait to give it to her. My order was filled and in my mailbox within 3 days!

Beautiful vision of our family cabinby Carolyn S Lewis (Dallas, TX, US)

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.

myDaVinci delivered as promisedby Mark Tooman (Ottawa Hills, OH, US)

I used myDaVinci for a Christmas present to my wife. They nailed the sketch from the digital photo I sent to them. They also got the art to me in time for Christmas. I was very pleased. This was the first time I used them and will do so again in the future.

Emma Louby Maria N. (Pleasentville, NY, US)

This was a gift for my daughter's birthday and it turned out amazing. She was so surprised and loved it:) thank you!

Superb!!!!by Paula Baldridge (Ypsilanti, MI, US)

The photo art of my fur babies is breath taking. Detailed, captures their personalities, professionally done. These are Christmas gift for my husband. He will be blown away when he gets them. Great Job. I will be back!!!!!

Awesome product!by Nicholas Hall (Port Saint Lucie, FL, US)

I bought this watercolor to celebrate our first anniversary. My wife loved the surprise and it fit in nicely with the traditional paper theme. The whole process was wonderful, thank you My DaVinci!

Dog pop artby Nicholas Losasso (Phoenix, AZ, US)

Really unique gift for the dog lover in your life. Uploading and creating was easy. They send you a proof to review and approve or request changes. I chose to change the finish style. Within a day they had a revised proof. Love it, highly recommend

seeing is believingby Diane Kelly (Barneveld, WI, US)

I liked My DaVinci's website better than the others that I saw and also liked the diversity of things that they offered. I took a chance and ordered a pencil sketch. Didn't have a real clear photo for them to work with, but am overjoyed with the end result. I will definitely use them again if I am looking to get this type of product, and have suggested them to family and friends.

Always a great experidnceby Liz (Columbus , OH, US)

I’ve done a few of these…all pencil sketch of house. My kids moved to new houses this year…they will love these gifts. Very good communication to fix anything I don’t like. Framing isn’t great, but fair price and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get them framed by Christmas .

Final Productby Brenda Brown (Sandston, VA, US)

This is the second time I have used myDaVinci. Both were absolutely perfect. I have one more grandchild that I will be doing in the next couple of years. Don't hesitate to use them.

Special Memoryby Stacy Brasher (Concord, CA, US)

This brought tears to our eyes, so thankful for this wonderful memory of our sweet Athena

Review on portraitby Hailey Dodson (Gainesboro, TN, US)

The picture was beautifully drawn. No flaws. I will be buying from this company again! I’m so happy with the final copy. I can’t wait to give it out as Christmas gifts!

Great 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

Jarjue 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.

Not what I expected by Kimberly Juarez (Houston, TX, US)

My level of satisfaction is immeasurable. My life has been made I look at this painting and my heart aches a little bit less. Thank you to the truly talented artist for bringing the two people I love the most together.

Unbelievableby 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!

Astonishing by Amber Love (Myrtle Beach, SC, US)

I sent them a picture that I needed edited before it was drawn and for no extra charge they created the exact image I wanted. I couldn’t be more pleased with them that I’ve already ordered 2 more and working on another one. They’re so realistic; it’s just top quality hand drawn pencil art. I couldn’t ask for more!!!

lovely 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!

baby photoby Leslie Paul (Miami, FL, US)

I like the photo. MAybe I should have previewed it first. I would have like the background to be a little lighter for more contrast. but I was happy with the quality and service. I called to change from paper to canvas, and was taken care of with no problem. came very quickly. thank you.

Amazingby Troy Purvis (Madison, IN, US)

It was beautiful. I will definitely be using you again. I was so impressed. Guarantee if you use these people you’ll be completely satisfied. I’ve had three sketches done by three different artist, and this one was the best by far. Thank you so much and merry Christmas.
