Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch Artistsseeing 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.

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosBeautiful!!by Elizabeth Nations (Hurley, NM, US)

I bought this for my husband for our anniversary and he loved it!! The artwork is amazing and extremely accurate. It captured everything that I wanted and, I think it came out wonderfully. The interaction with the company was all very pleasant as well. I will definitely do business with this company again in the future.

I absolutely love the sketch as does my wife. Everything happened as advertised in terms of timeline and the customer service was great. We will definitely be using this service again in the near future. I have already recommended it to several family members and friends.

Hand Painted Oil Painting Portraits from Photos | Photo to Oil PaintingMy Little Boy Bradyby Steve Riggs (West Warwick, RI, US)

I can't thank you enough for the gift you gave me of Brady's portrait. It's perfect and looks just like him. It's been three months since he passed away at almost 16 years old. I had the painting for a week before I could open it because the loss is still so raw. When I did I was thrilled, and still sad, at the same time. Thank you My Davinci for creating a treasure I will cherish forever.

The artist that created my watercolor created an outstanding product! I greatly appreciated the opportunity to review the work . I asked for a few changes and they made them very quickly. I gave this as a gift and the recipient was stunned and amazed at the detail and accuracy. I loved seeing the recipient's facial expression of amazement when he saw this for the first time. This was truly a very special gift.

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 Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosIncredible Hand Painted Ink Renderingby Amber Rabon-Luna (San Diego, CA, US)

My husband and I were just blown away by this ink rendering. It was absolute perfection and is a treasured addition to his recording studio. I could not be happier with my experience with myDaVinci and can say with absolutely certainty that this website will be my first stop the next time I have a special gift in mind for someone. I just wish there was a way to personally thank the artist! We are thrilled with the piece and the overall experience. Incredible.

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!!!!!

Outstanding, could not have asked for more.

Hand Painted Oil Painting Portraits from Photos | Photo to Oil PaintingAmazing Detail and Wonderful Giftby Daughter (Charlestown, MA, US)

I ordered this for my mother who recently sold her family's home of 60 years. I chose a picture that I knew that she loved, because it had my grandmother in the front drinking her coffee. I requested that the person in the front and the little white horse on the lawn be included in the painting and was told that, because they were so small that the artist would only be able to include them as an outline. That was not a problem for me. The finished product was absolutely amazing. Not only was my grandmother and the white horse included, but the artist also included a bird feeder that was on the lawn that I hadn't even seen in the picture. My mother was so happy with the painting that we have ordered additional prints to give to other family members. I absolutely would recommend myDaVinci to others.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsOur Dog Pepperby Regina Cloutier (Naples, FL, US)

I was a bit reluctant to order this pencil sketch online because I didn't think the detail would be clear, and it would look more like a "print" than a sketch. I wanted a unique and meaningful gift for my husband, this past Christmas, so I decided to give him a sketch of our dog, Pepper, an all-black German Shepherd. When my husband opened the gift, I almost cried!! The detail of the sketch was absolutely amazing! The artist captured the details of Pepper's eyes, fur, tail, and even the way she was laying on her paw, just beautifully!! We hung our sketch in the Dining Room, where everyone can see and admire this beautiful sketch!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoDobby Watercolorby Roseanna McCleary (Glenside, PA, US)

We love our watercolor of Dobby. We lost him to cancer three months ago and wanted something to remember him. The artist captured not just his looks but also his personality. Those eyes! And we got amazing service throughout the process.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoFantastic Company!by Dorothy Hurley (Staten Island, NY, US)

I stumbled upon myDaVinci when I was looking for something a bit different to give to dear friends who were celebrating a milestone anniversary. And I’m so glad I did. From beginning to end, the process was absolutely seamless. I made so many changes and each time, a representative from the company would answer whatever request I had (and there were many) almost immediately. And they were so patient and accommodating too. Nothing was ever a problem. I am so beyond thrilled with the finished product. It is so professional and exactly what I hoped it would be. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this phenomenal company. They are a true find. A real gem! PS - the recipients absolutely flipped over it! They thought it was an amazing!

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!!!

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosGorgeous Rendering!by Thomas Barrett (Chesilhurst, NJ, US)

The artist who drew the picture of my two little munckins did a beautiful job. The accuracy of expression, the feeling displayed, and the beauty of my dogs was presented as if each we're still with me and family. In short, it brought both my dogs back to life! I wholeheartedly recommend DaVinci's services to anyone wishing to recreate a loved one or memory in picture form. My purchase was worth so much more than money. It gave me back my precious little angels! Thank you DaVinci!

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.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPersonnel Touchby Marcus (Mount Olive, AL, US)

The myDaVinci team did an outstanding job on my sketch request. It featured 3 generations of family that have never met. It was done off of 3 individual pictures that were photoshopped together to make it appear as if it happend in real life. I give them 5 stars and highly recommend them!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsA truly great gift!by Melanie STIEBER (Williamsburg, MI, US)

I ordered three My DaVinci drawings for Christmas gifts. They were all different and so well received! Although the one pictured here is a house drawing, the second one was a picture of grandchildren dancing at a family wedding and a third one featured a family member holding up a newly caught fish. All three fit the personalities of their recipients. The My DaVinci service was as described. Although the gifts were delayed in delivery due to winter weather, the preview feature allowed me to share the gift on Christmas morning. Communication was good. I have one suggestion regarding shipping: Clarify that multiple pictures may arrive in the same shipment. I received three different Fed Ex tracking numbers but only the first one was activated. It caused me to think that the other two were lost in shipping. However, when the first one arrived, the other two were in the same mailing tube. All in all, a great gift!
