For Christmas, I wanted give my Fiance a personalized and unique gift, so I sent MyDaVinci a photograph of his children for a pencil sketch to be made. I couldn't have been happier with the final result! It looks SO much like them, and captures their spirits and affection for each other perfectly! He was thrilled and couldn't wait to hang it on the wall for everyone to see! People as us where I got it and I send them to MyDaVinci!

This is my second order from this company and, as always , they deliver exceptional work. The watercolor portrait of my family’s weekend home is beautiful and looks just like it. My DaVinci delivers quality work in a timely fashion.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoLovely watercolorby Lynn Polan (Chatham Township, NJ, US)

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosDelighted!by LDon (CT, US)

You know that feeling when you give a gift that is a true surprise and delight? The fabulous feeling of giving something so special that it makes everyone glow? That was the experience of giving this gift (and, it was by far the best Secret Santa gift at the celebration!). I had a color pencil drawing of my daughter's Philadelphia row house created as a gift. She and her husband love everything about it. The entire process was fun and easy. I worked back and forth with the artist on some edits and everything was produced quickly and expertly. At one point I approved the drawing and then noticed something and asked for one more edit, I also changed the matte and framing - the level of seamless accommodation from my.davinci for both of these changes was remarkable. In the age of AI everything to have this hand drawn piece of art is a true delight. 10 out of 10!

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosBeautiful!by Michelle Kinsley (Winchester, VA, US)

I thought this would make a great gift, but when it arrived it was so much better than I anticipated! They captured our babies eyes perfectly! I couldn't be more pleased and would highly recommend to anyone. Our dog Pops passed away this past year but now we have a beautiful portrait of him hanging on the wall so he is forever with us.

Gondola Ride Couple Caricature from PhotosWonderful!by Shelly Luchini (Du Bois, PA, US)

This is a gift for dear friends. I had no idea how beautifully this would turn out. The quality was wonderful and I was even surprised to see that the photos were touched up a bit. Loved it. Might even get one for my husband and me. Thank you for a job well-done!

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoPerfect!by Patricia Harmanci (Washington, DC, US)

As my first time ordering, I am totally satisfied and pleased with the resulting pop art photo! It's a gift so I wanted it to turn out well. My DaVinci did such a great job. And the ordering was easy and quick. They guided me through the art process and delivery. I definitely will order again. Thank you, my DaVinci!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsWonderful Giftby ()

I am a realtor and wanted to give a Thank You gift to my seller. This was her family home and it was bittersweet experience. myDaVinci created a fabulous sketch of the outside of the home and my seller was so happy to receive it and cherish a picture of it for years to come. Thank you myDavinci for your beautiful work.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMy daughter & granddaughterby Donna Emerick (Bridgeport, NE, US)

In searching online for an unusual, memorable gift for my daughter's first Mother's Day, I found your site. The order process was very easy and I was DELIGHTED with the picture. I love the fact that I was able to preview the artwork and request changes before it was shipped to me. My daughter is one of those who rarely, rarely cries, but when she saw the lovely pencil sketch, she sobbed. Thank you! My only "complaint" would be that I didn't receive my artwork in time for Mother's Day because I requested a change, and it slowed down receipt of the artwork by several days. This wasn't a problem for me because it turned out that I didn't see my daughter until a few days after Mother's Day. So, if ordering for a special occasion, be sure to order well in advance. Bottom line--I love the artwork so much that I am ordering again for my son-in-law for Father's Day! Thanks again!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoFirst Home by Joyce (Novi, MI, US)

My daughter recently purchased her first home. The house is absolutely adorable and she and my granddaughter are extremely happy with it. While thinking of something special to get her for Christmas I came across the myDaVinci site through the New York Times gift recommendations. It looked appealing so I decided to send in a picture of my daughter's home and the result was fantastic. The artist did a wonderful job capturing the essence of the home and followed my instructions to leave off certain non-essential parts of the picture that I sent it. I highly recommend this photo to art site, especially if you are looking for a unique gift for someone special.

The artist captured our beloved dog’s playfulness and loving spirit so beautifully. MyDavinci staff always responded to my email questions and comments very quickly, with great attention to detail. I surprised my family with this painting, hanging on the wall before they came home for the holidays. Everyone has been overjoyed with it!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsAwesome work!by Sally Bricker (Ohio)

We are 100% satisfied with our artwork. They took a photo and rearranged the figures to how we wanted and then did multiple edits to get everything just the way we wanted. They were very responsive to our emails and inquiries. It was a bit pricey due to the number of people in the photo, but totally worth the price! This is something my husband will always treasure.

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosChristmas giftby Gina Gonzalez (PORT SAINT LUCIE, FL, US)

I LOVED IT! We all LOVED it! The artist did an amazing job! I was left speechless and my mother in law was left sobbing. The gift was for her of her late husband and she was in awe of this portrait. I got it in size 16x20 with no frame and just purchased a frame of my own. It was the perfect size for over her fireplace. It was beautiful! I will purchase from you again!!! Thank you again.

This drawing captured the relationship perfectly. My DaVinci did a beautiful job. We displayed this at my daughter's baby shower and so many people commented how beautiful it was.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoOutstanding!by Carmen Ramirez (Boerne, TX, US)

I sent four different photos to mydaVinci to put them all together for my final product, which is absolutely gorgeous. They understood everything I needed and wanted this watercolor to show and preserve our childhood memories.

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 ArtistsAmazing workby Jason Dehne (Sheboygan, WI, US)

This is such a fantastic piece. I had this made for my wife who recently lost her grandmother and never had a good picture of them together. Add in that you were also able to add her mother who passed when she was very young makes this such a precious gift for her. The work is impeccable, and everyone was very kind through the process. It was also done very quickly and shipped in a couple days. Thank you for helping with this and brining such joy to her face when she recieved it.

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoTwins1by Maria Michelon (Chicago, IL, US)

Absolutely stunning. Much more beautiful than I expected. The colors are so vibrant. Will definitely order more of the 4-panel art for all of the new babies in our family.

Graduation Caricature from PhotoVery Happy With Purchaseby Mindy Tindle (Reno, NV, US)

My daughter is graduating from high school and I wanted a "fun" gift to go along with her more serious gifts. This totally fit the bill and I was very pleased with the results. I was also extremely happy with how fast the artwork was completed and the fact that they allow you to review the final copy and make any needed changes (didn't have any) before you actually get it.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPark benchby David Jones (Belleair, FL, US)

Very pleased with the overall experience from ordering through changes done. Easy to order , changes were done during the process, shipping was on time. The overall look was what I was looking to achieve from the bench, to the lettering, the landscaping with the water in the background and the 2 cardinals. The 2 faces were somewhat of a disappointment but faces are probably the hardest to capture I guess.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoBeardby 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.

Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosBeautiful!by Carrie Poston (Florence, SC, US)

I recently purchased a sketch of my husband and son for my husband's first father's day. I am amazed at the quality of the work. The artist produced a beautiful sketch, amazingly detailed. My husband loves it and so do I! I have been recommending My DaVinci to family and friends. You cannot beat the quality of work and price.
