Perfect renditionby Mary Anne (HUSTISFORD, WI, US)

The photos I sent were scanned versions of old photos with poor resolution. The artist worked with it and truly captured my dad's look. There were several details I never even thought about that the artist captured, such as the light colored mole under his left eye and his slightly crooked smile. It is a gift for one of my siblings. I couldn't be happier.

Conducting Caricature Purchased by me for my Website!by Judith Galasek (Oak Park, IL, US)

At my age, it is a special treat to see a slim body attached to my face! And, even though the pictures I submitted were fairly recent, you made me look good! First, I made it my Facebook profile picture, and received some nice feedback. Now is on LinkedIn and my music website, and I'm very happy to use it! Thanks for your quick work!

Excellent and beautiful by nancylee prohaska (Exeter, RI, US)

This painting was a gift and my sister cried when she saw her fur babies in this absolutely gorgeous water color painting. I have used davinci several times and they never disappoint. They do amazing work and highly recommend them to anyone…. You will be happy every single time and they are decently priced and shipping is fast also. Thank you davinci!

Excellent product and service!by Giustizia Cerniglia (VERONA, WI, US)

I submitted a relatively blurry image to be reproduced. They expressed concern and asked for a better copy (understandable), of which I didn’t have. They used the original that I sent them and it came out gorgeous!! I didn’t have to change a single thing about it. I am wanting to have a few more of these done as gifts, and some for myself. If you are hesitating - don’t!! These are wonderful and well worth the price. An excellent experience through and through.

Perfect!by Nancy (Temple, TX, US)

This watercolor is our four generation family cabin in Colorado. It was a gift for the member who has been responsible for upkeep and maintenance. I shared the image with the remaining family members. They all want prints! It’s lovely and reminds us of the memories made there!

Our 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!

Stunning my little Manby Linda Buero (Clinton Twp., MI, US)

The pencil drawing is beautiful. It looks like my baby is looking right at me. Thank you for capturing him, I miss him so much. Joker 9.11.18 - 5.30.23 Gone but NEVER forgotten.

Masterful Artistry by Kristy Prentice (Akron, OH, US)

I could not be more pleased! This is more beautiful than I could have imagined. Highly recommend!!

Great Item!by Scott Cleveland (Burlington, CT, US)

Got this as a Valentine's Day gift for my wife and she loved it! She hung it on the wall immediately. I ordered it with a frame and it looks very nice.

Perfection by Patricia Cumper (Avoca, IA, US)

I am in love! The artists did an amazing job. I am beyond pleased.

First time experience by Patricia Fortino (gilroy, CA, US)

First time with MyDaVinci! was amazing! Not only extremely pleased with the sketch of my 2 youngest grandkids, the great help with questions I had were answered. I guess me ordering 4 more artworks say it all! Thank You MyDaVinci

Exceeded Expectations!by Geri Maryland (Acworth, Ga.)

Love the picture I received. I ordered it for my son’s girlfriend for Christmas, not knowing what to get her, and she is absolutely going to love it! The drawing is spot on from the original picture and the framing quality was excellent. This could be the best gift I purchased this year. Thank you for the quality work!

Outstanding!by Marjorie Hatton (Boynton Bch, FL, US)

I was so pleased with this sketch of Ellie, it captured her personality perfectly! I haven’t given it to my son yet but I know he will treasure it. Thank you for the quick delivery of the proof and I will be back for future projects.

Aerial Combatby Rusty Poulin (Macon, GA, US)

The artwork completed by my DaVinci exceeded my expectations. They were great to work with. I am very pleased with the final product and would certainly use them again.

Looks Good!by Carl McConnell (Vista, CA, US)

This was just the look for our Snickers we wanted to match one we had done for Sparky and Rascal. The two images really go well together!

Sketch from picture by Paula Mezzetta (Pleasanton, CA, US)

The sketch I asked for was perfect! I would recommend my Da Vinci for anyone who is looking for a way to display a picture that is not an actual photograph.

Wonderful !by Malcolm Windsor (Olathe, KS, US)

We are so pleased with the painting. Looking at it brings back great memories. The artist took great care and captured the scene very well.

Grandma Lizby Chyna Riley (Columbia, SC, US)

I absolutely loved the portrait. The portrait was very detailed and looked exactly like the original picture. It was a sentimental gift that really touched my mom’s heart for Christmas this year. I would definitely use this company again in my future purchases. Very professional and time efficient.

Finby Joni Hardin (Smyrna, SC, US)

This is amazing? I absolutely love it! It’s a surprise birthday gift for my daughter-in-law. I can hardly wait to give it to her (Nov 6). The drawing of my grandson, Fin is completely him, precise, the colors are great & I’m just so happy with it Thank you!

REVIEWby Deborah Conaway (UNIONTOWN, PA, US)

THIS WILL BE A NICE SURPRISE FOR MY FATHER'S 90TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

Absolutely beautiful!by Camille Chadwell (Cheektowaga, NY, US)

Absolutely beautiful! These are my Granddaughter's dogs and she cried when she opened her Christmas gift. Kudos to the artist who did this EXACTLY as I specified. Would absolutely do this again. WELL WORTH THE PRICE!

Beautiful pencil drawing!by Karen Plew (Pleasant Valley, NY, US)

We are very pleased with our colored pencil drawing of our dog, Finnegan! The company was a pleasure to work with, and even accepted a modification request. Highly recommend!

The Boysby CharleneR Barthelemy (Katy, TX, US)

I ordered a pencil sketch of my daughter's dogs for her Mother's Day surprise. I sent a couple extra photos just so the artists could "get a feel" of the boys' personalities - ha, ha The artists suggested the pic below because it had the most detail. They are very good about communication...after several e-mails this was the final product. My daughter was overjoyed. She said it "captured" the boys' personalities from their expressions to their stances. It took on extra meaning because she is relocating so this not only is a reminder of good times shared where she lives but a great new house-warming gift for their new place. I had previously ordered a watercolor from DaVinci for a friend which was just beautiful. They don't just duplicate...they put a little bit of sentiment in everything they do...lots of coupons and very reasonable additions like matte and frame. My next order will be a color pencil sketch!!

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!!!!!

Perfect Reproduction of Dogsby David Brooks (Cambridge, ON, CA)

This service is amazing. I sent a photo with instructions to remove background noise and the harnesses from the three dogs. The artists reproduced not just the appearance of the dogs, but even seemed to capture the character of the dogs through the eyes. The cock-a-poo in the drawing was 17 years old and just lived a couple weeks longer after the photo. We are happy to be able to memorialize her with her puppy friends, the 2 pugs.

So excited! by Debra McKellar (Keller, TX, US)

I am thrilled to have found DaVinci! I am eagerly awaiting proofs for my second sketch... the first one of my daughter turned out wonderful....they worked with me and redid a couple of places until I was completely happy with the outcome... all at no extra charge.. I would recommend this for any sketch or painting of that special person!

In Love With Results by Marisa Ragonesi (Randolph, NJ, US)

This is probably one of my favorite things I've ever bought for someone because it made them as happy as it made me. Great communication with my artist to provide me with the exact portrait I wanted and fast delivery time. Worth every penny and then some!

60th anniversary pictureby Mary Kimmer (Sylvania, OH, US)

We were so pleased with our parents 60th picture. The original I sent them was of poor quality but this artist stuck with it and we were able to recreate there wedding photo. I would not hesitate to have additional drawings done through them.

Beautiful by Cheri (Ewing, NJ, US)

This is my 5th art piece from MyDavinci. I absolutely love their artwork. I am truly a customer for life.

So Beautiful!by Candace Serviss (Loda, IL, US)

I had this done for my husband's birthday..the folks could not have been nicer and everyone who sees it thinks it is amazing and the birthday boy loved it!
