Very Happyby Carol Cushing (Brooklyn , NY, US)

I was extremely pleased with the art work I ordered. I will use you again in the future . I will recommend you to my family and friends.

Fabulous 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!!!!!

A portrait of my Motherby Robert Wands (St. Charles, IL, US)

I did a hi-res scan of an old family picture from the '50s, then isolated my mother's image. The lighting of the photo was flat, and there were nearly no highlights in her hair, and her earrings got lost in the shadows. Somehow, the myDaVinci artist overcame all of that, found her hairstyle, found her earrings, and reproduced every other feature faithfully, and far better than the original photo. It is a beautiful portrait, and I'll display it with pride. And I wouldn't hesitate to recommend myDaVinci to anyone looking for a sensitive interpretation of a family picture.

Stunningby Cheri T. (Ewing, NJ, US)

This is absolutely gorgeous. The artist has tremendous skills and the detail is impeccable. I will treasure this Forever. Thank You

Excellent 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!!!

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!

Way better than I ever expected!by Michael Levin (North Bennington, VT, US)

The picture we had MyDavinci make is just outstanding! Much higher quality print and framing than I had expected and the artwork is perfect! It will hang proudly and I've got 2 more cats and 3 dogs so well be getting a lot more things from My DaVinci! HIGHLY recommend!

Family 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.

Major General Dadby William Mesure (Quakertown, PA, US)

We were trying to find something different for our dad, and this worked out great! He is a huge military buff, so it was right up his alley. We are glad that we chose the oil painting, and not the photo option, as it looks just like a painting. I also sent in a bunch of different aged pictures and they did a great job compiling them into one good mix shot. He loves it! As did we! We will use you guys again for sure! Easy and fast! Thanks!

Sunshine after the rain!!by Kasie Beene (Medon, TN, US)

I spent quite a bit of money with another company and received VERY unprofessional pictures.... the pictures I received from my artist with mydavinci were PHENOMENAL. There was not a dry eye in the room. Thank you for giving us memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Highly recommend by Eva Chin (Salisbury, MD, US)

This is the 3rd picture I’ve purchased from my davinci and they always do a great job . You will get updates when you place your order and can make adjustments to your picture if needed . You will end up with a beautiful picture to cherish .

4 generations by Michael Forte (Vineland, NJ, US)

A great illustration of the 4 generations in my family. When my daughter looks at this she’ll always know who her grandmother is and where she comes from!

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.

Thrill of Victory by Ken Skidmore (Mont Belvieu, TX, US)

We could not be more happy with our sketch from myDaVinci. It captured a special moment from a 1979 Texas High School State Championship football game victory. I feel like the sketch turned out better than the actual photograph. Thanks for putting the memory to paper for both coaches and player!

Excellentby Abby Mozelak (Thomason, CT, US)

This was my 3rd purchase of dog sketches, they captured the dog’s photo to a tee, and if not you can explain the changes they need to make and then the sketch comes back and it is perfect! I think I have cried every time I have received the sketch! When my friends see the pictures they have asked who did the sketch and I go on ‘mydavinci’ rant. I love them, you WON’T be disappointed!

Best gift idea ever. by Brianne (Inverness, IL, US)

I’ve ordered from mydavinci twice, and both times I’ve been very happy with the product and the service. I ordered a pencil drawing of my niece 2 years ago, and this year I ordered one of my nephew- both Christmas gifts for my sister. The customer service side of mydavinci is great, they keep you updated throughout the process of your order. The delivery is very timely, even with it being a busy holiday season. The final art is amazing!! My sister cried when I gifted her the drawing of my niece, and I’m assuming she will cry tomorrow when I give her the one of my nephew.

‘My Dad’by Diane Stierle (Milford, PA, US)

This perfect portrait captured the ‘my dad’ everlasting smile for my daughter’s 40th birthday gift; thank you ‘myDaVinci’ and your gifted artists for art work from the heart.

Dad and sonsby Patricia Sherman (Texarkana, TX, US)

I love my picture!! My husband passed away and in looking for pictures for the visitation I realized it had been years since we had taken a picture of him with our two boys!! I contacted My DaVinci on line, found several snapshots of the three of them and told them what I wanted. They did a fantastic job.

Dog with color drawingby debra rice (warren, OH, US)

This drawing is done in color of my dog..which she has different shades of blonde..a mini doodle..is done beautiful..they even added per my request..a pink bow above her ear..and painted her nails pink..as the girly girl she is..thanks again for a special memory!! I have gotten many drawings and will continue!

Father and Sonby Jill Kingslien (La Vernia, TX, US)

I got the first piece when my son was almost 1 for my husband's first Father's Day. I have gotten a father/son picture done about every 3 years. Our son is 15 now and this is the 5th one. It is a wonderful chronical of their relationship as he has grown up. Beautiful work as always. Excellent communication, rapid response and item well packaged and sent promptly.

A-MAZINGby Farah Sharbek (MAYFIELD VILLAGE, OH, US)

This was a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. He has always wanted an English Bulldog and finally got one. I thought it would be a great idea to make an ANDY WARHOL Painting of his dog and he absolutely fell in love. The smile did not leave his face. He took it to his friends to show them, and he also took it to his Aunts to show all his relatives Christmas Day. He was not expecting it either, which made it ten times better! Thank you so much myDaVinci!!!! I will definitely be getting more paint work from you!

Caliby Stephen Todd (Parksville, BC, CA)

Wow, this was my second drawing purchased and have been extremely happy with the result. Very accommodating and I felt through both purchases they were intent on making sure they had the drawing to my absolute satisfaction. I would definitely refer (and have) myDaVinci to anyone looking for a keepsake drawing.

Beardby Trey McDermid (Amherst, NY, US)

I have used My DaVinci many times to provide gifts for my clients. They do a great job of customizing the pieces for that extra special apprearance. The most recent project they were able to use several photo vantage points to eliminate over grown foliage and showcase more of the house... Great job, my client loved it.

Excellent quality!by L Swift (Chesterfield, MO, US)

We had our dog painted as a gift and were very pleased with the results as well as the service. The painting showed more personality that wasn’t evident in the photo we sent. Thanks - we are very likely to do another dog portrait in the future.

house memoriesby Frank Tagye (Exton, PA, US)

I got this drawing for my wife as she has one similar to it that was done from a picture of her Springfield Pa. childhood home. It was well done and captured the look of our home when we first bought it. It will be framed and travel with us to our next location. The whole process was very easy and handled really well. It was a pleasure dealing with the people at DaVinci.

This is my fourth pencil sketchby Stacy Goodwin (Lake Forest, CA, US)

Thank you to the artist for a beautiful job once again. I only have one more to go then I'll have all my five dogs over the last 30 years sketched

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.

Extremely pleasefby Nathan Ojala (Kirkland, WA, US)

The main thing for me was the artist caught the essence of the photo I sent in. Shading was incredible. I would use them again in a heartbeat and plan to tell my friends and family.

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.

Looks great!by Deborah Osterberg (Darlington, SC, US)

Well done, captured my mom perfectly!! I love the choice of colours for the background!!
