Words can't describe how awesome!by Michael Dornblaser (Jacksonville, AR, US)

I got myDaVinci to do a picture of both of my sons for my wife for Christmas. I was simply blown away when I received it in the mail. And when my wife opened it on Christmas Eve in front of the family, I knew I had done well. It will last a lifetime, and I plan on having several done in the future. Thanks myDavinci!

Love 💕 by Jen Nicholls (Ballarat East, VIC, AU)

Great communication, requested color change and this one done quickly, couldn’t be happier with service and result Tsnk you!

So happyby Sonja Rothe (Woodstock, NY, US)

This was my second pencil drawing from my Davinci. They are both fantastic! The second one was for a friend and she and her husband love it as much as I love mine. Both of the fogs are gone now and these portraits are truly a meaningful memorial. Thank you!

Beautiful home portraitby patti gosman (northport, NY, US)

This was a gift for a seller who had been in the home for 50 years. It came out beautiful, and the photo I sent was taken in January so my davinci obliged me by adding leaves to the tree in the backround. I was very happy with the watercolor as was my recipient. My only complaint was in shipping. The package was basically destroyed by the time it reached me, and it did take awhile. Longer that anticipated.

Blue Healerby Cissi Bernhard (Birmingham, AL, US)

I love the picture of my dog. The likeness is spot on. Service was prompt, professional, and exactly what I expected. This is my third piece of artwork and I will definitely be back.

Memory of my grand fur babies. by Debbie Tunney (Belle Vernon, PA, US)

This is my second order to My Davinci. The first was my son’s dog. It was absolutely beautiful so that’s why I decided to get my daughter one when her two dogs passed away ten days of each other. Again I was so happy with this one. It showed their character. It is amazing how they captured this. Thank you so much for two beautiful drawings. I will be using them again.

Christmas gift that rocksby DMassietx (Houston, TX, US)

This was a Christmas present for my new daughter-in-law, and it was an acknowledgement that she and my son would eventually leave this house. It was a 'future memento' for her to remember where she raised her two daughters and before her life changed forever when she married my son. The first thing she mentioned was the artistry--how well done it was and how well-rendered it was. She was touched but also impressed with the artist's skill. The piece arrived in two weeks, which was really fast given the Christmas rush. Beautiful job!

Artist incorporates feedback giving amazing artwork!by Jermy Leeuwis MSc (Nijkerk, GL, NL)

A splendid result! I could only hope for such a result but at its start admittedly I was anxious. I was a first time customer after all. Within a few days I received the first (sketch) artwork. We needed a few rounds to get our comments 'fixed' and together with the artist a fantastic artwork was created. We chose a hi-res download and hi-res it definitely was. We use it in a photogallery on an iPad which plays 24/7. And it will go on our wall: framed as an artwork :-). Thank you, MyDaVinci and the artist Ken Zhang.

Ordered as a giftby Rebecca Pourroy (Kankakee, IL, US)

I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my daughter and her fiancé. I won't know what their reaction is until Christmas, but I found the ordering process to be pain free. I was offered a preview of the drawing and able to make suggestions of changes I thought it needed. Once those changes were made, I was able to preview the drawing again and I realized that the first rendering was the better one. Once again the change was made. I recommend my DaVinci to anyone looking for a unique gift or keepsake.

Completely Satisfied by Angie Estevez (Middletown, DE, US)

The hand-penciled drawing was wonderful and blew my wife and I away with how accurate and detailed it was. It fully captured our dog’s features and smile, despite her being an all black dog. And it also accurately portrayed my wife who was holding our dog in the drawing. The process was very good too. Before framing up and shipping us the drawing, we received a preview via email for approval and given the opportunity to request changes. And from start (ordering) to finish (drawing in hand) was about 3-4 weeks. We love our drawing and will treasure it for years to come!

Excellent Resultsby Brad Shelton (Mesquite, TX, US)

I chose to commission a piece for my wife's birthday, featuring our four departed dogs. Having only a few older photos, I offered them up for as much detail as possible. I was offered mock-ups for final approval, allowing me to make a minor change before finalizing the order, and I'm very pleased with the results. My wife loves the final product. She's amazed with the detail! I gladly recommend myDaVinci, and I would use them again.

Pencil sketch by Monica Buckley (Chelmsford, MA, US)

Lovely sketch of a wedding pic for my son's first anniversary. Service was excellent; was told up front that my first photo would not work well. I sent another and they offered a credit if it didn't meet my expectations. It did. So glad I read the reviews before choosing myDavinci!

A M A Z I N G!!!by Emily Lewis (Santa Clarita, CA, US)

I was super happy when I received and open the package from MyDaVinci. The artwork is AMAZING!!! Excellent! I'm 100% satisfied. I was VERY impressed the way they respond to my email. Super quick! I'm not a high tech person. However, with their help I was able to submit my artwork and in an instant, someone was able to send me an artwork image for my review. It was Perfection!!! I had contacted other company in the past but was frustrated waiting for response and the artwork was not even as good as MyDaVinci. I will definitely order again.

Canvas Pop Artby Lori Grossman (Orange, CA, US)

My grand babies never looked so hip. Canvas Pop Art looks great on the walls of their play room. Thank you for providing the service.

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.

JoZ Walesby Julianne Mayville (GLADSTONE, MI, US)

I just love this picture. The artist did a fantastic job replicating the photo I sent. This is our 5th drawing from myDaVinci and they have done a great job on everyone.

Great attention to adjustmentsby Barbara McWee (Oakland, MI, US)

Because our grandchild's face was scrunched up as the butterfly landed on her nose and was quite obscured by a shade in the original photograph, it was difficult to make her face look just like her. DaVinci reworked the drawing with the assistance of additional photos we provided and the end result was a treasure.

Beach 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.

Excellent painting by Robert Smallman (Merrill, WI, US)

The 11 x 14 painting was an excellent representation of the house, based on the photo I had uploaded. I was surprised at how quickly it was completed — and yet how beautifully it was done. I’m very pleased with the resulting work and can’t wait to surprise my wife on our anniversary.

Loved it! by Julie Hope (Houston, TX, US)

Our friends bought a new home so we wanted to get them something special to celebrate. We ordered a painting with their dog in the window and it turned out great, they love it and it’s a cherished piece in their home. Easy company to work with, easy to understand laid the pictures and work with for approval. Would highly recommend, thank you!!

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

Stupendousby 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.

Christmas present for my sisterby Lynn Underwood (Mt.Pleasant , TN, US)

OMG!! I looked around everywhere for someone to do a sketch for my sister a Christmas present. She doesn't have kids so her furbabies are it for her. I stumbled across MyDainvci on Google doing a search. I checked them out, they had a large selection of things to choose from. For the right price too. I placed my order and they got right back to me. They answered all my questions. They were courteous and polite. When they were finished they sent me a proof imagine and I was blown away. I was very satisfied. I'll be doing more business with them if I ever need this kind of work done in the future. I've already recommended them to a friend. They sent me the sketch right away. It didn't take forever. I highly recommend this company.

Historic Aberdeen Houseby Jennifer Blake (Aberdeen, MD, US)

I am extremely pleased with the finished product from mydavinci.com. They were professional and reached out to me multiple times to ensure that I would be satisfied. I am delighted with my picture and as it is a Christmas gift, I know the recipient will be too! I will most certainly order from them again!

Saved Our Wedding Photos!!by Meghan (GA)

Unfortunately, the memory card with our wedding photos was lost before we ever received any pictures of us together. All that we had were a few iphone photos that a friend took. We were grateful for those, but the quality wasn’t good enough to print past a 4x6. Then I heard of myDaVinci...we sent in the best iphone picture we could find and the artist created the most beautiful portrait from our wedding. Now we have a large representation, and it’s one of the only ones from our wedding day. I’m so grateful for this company! The painting is so incredibly detailed, down to the exact lace detail of my dress. No one would ever know that it was painted off a small phone photo that was our last hope. We’ve already ordered others as gifts. You may think it’s a big investment, but the value is incredible. I am amazed at their work! Thank you!!

Captured our granddaughter perfectly. by Gene Paradiso (SHERWOOD, WI, US)

This is the second portrait you’ve done for us and we are once again thrilled with final piece. Your team has been so easy to work with and the quality of your work is outstanding. We have one more granddaughter whose portrait will be requested in another year or so. We look forward to working with you again.

Mr. Peepersby Kim Voorhees (Piscataway, NJ, US)

Mr. Peepers (Mel) is a rescue cat, who rescued who? Mr. Peepers is the light of my mothers life and she loved this picture I took recently of him so I knew I had to do something special for her. I right went to MyDavinci to create something she can smile every time she goes into her living room and she does. Thank you again for making such wonderful life time gifts or your customers.

Family pictureby James Davis (Mandeville, LA, US)

Love the art work. Could not be happier and I'm sure my wife will love the pencil art drawing of her family. Thank you. It will be cherished for a very long time.

Another great job!by Margaret Weber (Hauppauge, NY, US)

This is the fifth hand drawn color pencil I ordered. Each one is perfect and looks exactly like the photo that was sent to DaVinvi to create the drawing. This drawing was particularly difficult because the baby had a frown in all her Baptism pictures. We asked DaVinci to use a photo of the baby smiling from a different photo and superimpose it onto the Baptism photo. No one could tell that the drawing was actually from two different photographs! FYI - make sure you check if you are ordering the layout in landscape or portrait. Not realizing the drawing's layout was landscape, I approved it. When the drawing arrived, I discovered the error. DaVinici was very accommodating and told me to return the drawing and they corrected the layout. I highly recommend DaVinci because of their talented artists and great customer service.

Momby Bobby R Cardenas (Lubbock, TX, US)

I found a picture of my Mamaista, while taking care of her. In the picture she was only 15. She is beautiful! I wanted to present it to her before she passed, but that didnt happen. But it's Fantastic, couldn't have asked for anything better. Your wonderful artists did such an awesome job! Thank you a thousand times over!
