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.

Parents 40th anniversaryby Sarah Moya (Jacksonville, AR, US)

This gift was an excellent purchase for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. They absolutely love it! It was a beautiful likeness of them and exactly like the picture. I will definately use this site again.

Alaskaby DARLENE CHRABASCZ (Glastonbury, CT, US)

I ordered not one but two framed sketches of our son's and grandson's first homes as Christmas gifts. I am beyond pleased working with the company's associates and the finished products. I highly recommend you try them!

Boazby Cindy Elliott (Mansfield, MO, US)

The sketch was just what I was hoping for. It has touched both me and my husbands heart and we get to see it everyday. The memories it brings are mostly wonderful, although some sad too.

1st anniversary surpriseby Michael Lanni ( NJ, US)

I surprised my wife for our first anniversary and she was literally brought to tears. The artist captured every detail impeccably with this colored pencil masterpiece. It exceeded every expectation I had. This is now the 2nd gift I’ve given my wife from MyDavinci (a watercolor of our dog). Will definitely be shopping here again.

WONDERFUL GIFTby Shawn Moore (Lewisville, TX, US)

My husband purchased this gift for me for Christmas. I was so thrilled as my Doggie Teddie is my baby and I love him dearly. Great Job, Wonderful gift to cherish forever! Thank you

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.

seeing 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.

Memory foreverby Kel Collette (Newport, NH, US)

The moment I saw the drawing, I was amazed at the true to life appearance. These kids will always have this moment memory. I asked for a little change with the ring and it was done beautifully. I am more than impressed with the final product and I would recommend this artists rendering to anyone that wants to preserve a precious moment in time. Thanks myDaVinci

Astonishing by Amber Love (Myrtle Beach, SC, US)

I sent them a picture that I needed edited before it was drawn and for no extra charge they created the exact image I wanted. I couldn’t be more pleased with them that I’ve already ordered 2 more and working on another one. They’re so realistic; it’s just top quality hand drawn pencil art. I couldn’t ask for more!!!

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!

davinci sketched pregnancy picby Heather Shatswell (independence, MO, US)

i was amazed at the speed and quality of the drawing they did for me! each draft, they sent me a copy so i could have them tweek it until it was exactly what i wanted. me and my husband are expecting our first baby together and are surprising each other with gifts after the birth. this will be something he can cherish forever! definitely wayyyy worth the money...and only a week total from when they sent me the first proof until i received the final drawing, very safely packaged, in the mail.

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.

A sketch to last foreverby John Kotek (Bartlett, IL, US)

This is my second sketch from the studio and as I expected it was excellent. They kept me informed of the progress and the line of communication was great. They followed my special request which made the gift all more wonderful. I plan to have more sketches done in the future. This sketch is now the focal point of my house. Excellent job myDaVinci!

Dogs of Sommerby ann sommer (york, PA, US)

I was so happy with your company. From my initial exploratory contact to the finished product, I had nothing but great interactions. My questions were quickly answered. My suggestions to the sketch were followed exactly. The sketch is exactly what I wanted. It was a gift for my 90 year old father in law and he LOVED it. He hung it up in his family room right away. the rest of my family plans to order reprints, too! Thank you so much for this perfect gift

Portrait of our dogby Sue Barber (Edison, NJ, US)

This is the second black and white portrait of a pet that I had done at my DaVinci. Completely satisfied both times. They're beautiful and the artist did such a great job capturing the essence of each dog.

FANTASTIC by Robert Murdy (Barnesville, GA, US)

I knew when I got this headshot I wanted to do something special. And when I found the website on line it was my dream come true to have a Warhol like portrait. And they out did themselves. It's absolutely perfect. Thank you so much.

watercolor artby Robert Damico (STAFFORD, VA, US)

I sent a picture for DaVinci to create a watercolor print for me. It came out great. They asked for my approval before sending to me and even made a few adjustments based on my comments. I'm getting ready to order another watercolor from them. Recommend them strongly for anyone seeking an unusual gift.

Great results! by Ryan Sipherd (Orem, UT, US)

We surprised a friend of ours with this fabulous portrait. The tricky part was getting a photo without her suspecting, but it worked! She was truly surprised and she loved it. Well worth the effort and price. The result was very convincing. I would purchase again.

Perfectionby Janet D (Omaha, NE, US)

I have never been more pleased with something as I was having this sketching done. It was packaged beautifully to where I had no worries of breakage since I had mine framed. The picture was perfect from the time I was able to review it to receiving the finished and framed product. I will definitely be using MyDavinci again.

Granddaughter by Brenda Miller (Bethlehem , PA, US)

I wasn’t completely happy with the first draft but they made the adjustment I asked for and was completely satisfied with the final product. My granddaughter passed away in June and now we can preserve this special picture of her forever and always remember her every time we see it

Watercolor Portrait of Houseby Linda Julian (Rehoboth, MA, US)

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.

Beautiful workby Amy Armstrong (Daphne, AL, US)

I submitted a photo of a friend’s grandchild and wagon I wanted painted as a gift. It turned out beautiful! Perfect gift!

Resting Peacefullyby Jane Schaefer (Batesville, IN, US)

The process was user friendly, the artist did a fabulous job. Everyone I shared it with could not believe how well captured he was. What the artist does not know, is that my best friend and dearest lab passed away just days before I found my DaVinci. It has been a difficult journey to say the least but this piece of art makes it a tad bit easier. Thank you!

Even Better Than The Preview!by Gary Solomonson (Minneapolis, MN, US)

The Leonardo's Pop painting we ordered for a wedding gift was even more beautiful when it arrived than when previewed in the online review!! It was a very beautiful piece of art. This is the second time we have used your services, and in both cases, we have been thrilled with the results! It's an amazing thing that you do, and we are very thankful that mydavinci exists. Thanks again for making it possible for us to give a truly unique and meaningful gift.

The perfect giftby Andrea Pidgeon-MacCord (Fall city, WA, US)

Yes, my son turned 18 and it was one of his gifts for his birthday, not knowing he said it was the best gift! He is a very athletic Lacrosse Player and his teammates loved it too! Unique and Priceless!

Great work - gift recipient loved it!by Andrew C (Allston, MA, US)

Commissioned a watercolor piece of a friend's childhood home her family had just sold and she loved it! Great recreation of the reference photo without looking like it just had a filter applied to it.

Talented artistryby Thomas O'Shay (Woodbridge, VA, US)

I contracted this pencil sketch of a photograph for someone whose parrot passed away unexpectedly, so I had a high bar for the artist to meet. They exceeded my expectations! They were patient with making the changes I wanted, and the sketch turned out perfect. The recipient of the sketch was ecstatic at how the artist captured the subject, and the owner of the frame store we visited was impressed with the quality of the artist. I definitely plan on contracting for more artwork with MyDaVinci!

Greatby Hank Ramos (Sun City, CA, US)

My wife was very surprised and very emotional after seeing herself and lovely mother on the portrait who passed away a year ago. I'm very happy and so is my wife.

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!
