Mother and daughter drawing by Connie Ulicne (Taylor, MI, US)

I know the photo was not the best to work with. The drawing turned out beautiful! Summer did a wonderful job. She was very prompt with responses. Great customer service. This photo is of my mother-in-law's sister and niece, which both passed away. Thank you for the beautiful memory she will have a down from your drawing.

I am extremely pleased with the sketch of our black labs Gracie and Garmin. It is a duplicate of the photo I submitted. I will be sure to smile every time I look at it. I would highly recommend myDaVinci !

Such great precision and detail on this painting beyond my expectations and the turnaround was very fast. It looks s a birthday Gift for a dear friend that just loves this cat I can't wait to see her reaction

Showstopperby Heather Defilippis (Sparta, NJ, US)

Love, love, love my new artwork! Getting so many compliments on the print. I had this picture made years ago and don’t know where I put it. Was so happy to see my husband I displayed on your sight. customer service were so helpful, they told me your picture is always on your account and you can access it at anytime. I was able to order another picture with ease.

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.

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.

Stunning artwork by Whitney Brooks (Bennington, VT, US)

This is the 5th pencil sketch I have purchased from mydavinci and have NEVER been disappointed. Their work is absolutely beautiful and worth every penny.

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.

Granddaughter’s portraitby Joanna Rossbach (Norwood, NJ, US)

This portrait is a Christmas gift for a grandfather. The photo I provided had a lot of other people on the beach. The artist eliminated it and created a gorgeous portrait of a young girl with a ocean background , as requested. It is stunning and it will be a Christmas present for the girl’s grandfather.

Beautiful depiction of parents' homeby Laura Donorfio (Middlebury, CT, US)

This colored pencil work was purchased by me and my siblings as a gift for our parents and they absolutely loved it. As soon as my mom saw it she said with excitement, "It's our house." She immediately took down another picture they had hanging in their home and replaced it with this. I highly recommend the artwork as well as the matting and framing. It's worth it!

Jarjue weddingby kerry jarjue (Gilbert, AZ, US)

We absolutely love the painting you made from our photo. The painting came out better than the picture. To us it looks like we’re floating and our emotions that day we definitely were. It was so easy to order and the painting got to us in a very timely matter. Thank you so much for the beautiful art work.

Perfect Giftby Ashley Zammit (Katy, TX, US)

I got this as a gift for my in-laws and they absolutely loved it! This was the house we stayed in while visiting New Orleans and it was a thank you gift for them. It will be something they can keep for ever to always remember our amazing trip!

Son‘s first homeby Barbara Tavenner (Richmond, VA, US)

Our son is getting married and we gave this to he and his fiancé as this is their first home. . The creator was wonderful and made changes quickly for me. . The artwork was delivered in a timely manner and they love it!

Amazing 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.

Beautiful Paintingby David Lightfoot (Everett, WA, US)

This is my second purchase from myDaVinci.com. The first was a painting of our home. This one is of our cat, Loki. It looks just like him. Perfect!

Picture Perfect!by Stephanie VanDevere (Akron, OH, US)

This is my 3rd purchase from myDaVinci and I am once again more than satisfied!! The artist did an awesome job! I emailed several photos with request and he put together the perfect picture on the first try! The service was super fast! I had a last minute thought for a gift and I had the finished product (digital) in under a week! I will continue to use this site for special gifts!

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!

Once again...absolutely beautiful!! by Kimberly F (Apollo Beach, FL, US)

This is the 4th item that I've had done through My DaVinci, and the 4th time that I have been amazed! This sketch was as beautiful as the others! I love My DaVinci, and will contine to look for Photos to transform into Art!

Cat Cherub Paintingby Adam Spence (San Antonio, TX, US)

Exactly what I wanted, awesome! Would highly recommend!

Best memory by lady gonzalez (Coram, NY, US)

I can't even described the feeling when my wife and I opened it up... tears came out of our eyes... so real and you can tell it was drawn with love and respect

Filled With Joy Seeing My Artby Deborah (La Canada Flintridge, CA, US)

I thought my new grand baby's photo would look great as an Andy Warhol subject. Well, it surpassed my expectations. It is so amazing looking and such high quality. I was blown away.

Review on portraitby Hailey Dodson (Gainesboro, TN, US)

The picture was beautifully drawn. No flaws. I will be buying from this company again! I’m so happy with the final copy. I can’t wait to give it out as Christmas gifts!

Wonderfulby Barb Fisher (Pembroke Pines, FL, US)

OMG, where do I start? I ordered this picture for my Veterinarian for the holidays. We had secretly taken photos of his dog he brings to work everyday. I submitted my order so late that I did not think it was going to be ready for the holidays. But to my surprise it was reviewed and an emailed proof was sent in just a few hours!!!! I noticed the collar was upside down, so I asked if that could be fixed. A new email proof was sent the next day with the collar facing upright. The gorgeous picture was sent within a week!!! Needless to say I gave it to him and he has not stopped talking about it to this day. His family also loved it! The only problem is that they cannot decide where to hang it, in the office or at home. I know he has referred the website to everyone that has also loved the picture. I just want to say thank you so very much for the outstanding customer service you provide. I hope to be back to order one for myself.

Sampsonby Cheryl Carroll (Castleton, NY, US)

I could not be more pleased with the final sketch. You captured Sampson's Happy Face. We miss him dearly and my son will love this when he gets it tomorrow for Father's Day. The modifications were done perfectly and now his face is what your eyes are taken to. Thank you so much for understanding what I wanted to be done and I am so glad I stumbled across your website. I will recommend you to all I know.

Edby Carol Lonergan (Cicero, NY, US)

Thank you so much for all the time you spent with me getting Ed's portrait just right. You even added a ball in his photo! That is what Ed loves to do, play catch. The portrait looks wonderful!

Easy to work with!by Jeanne Johnson (Seattle, WA, US)

Very easy to work with the artist, we went through a few edits and the final product came out exactly as I hoped! Given as a Christmas gift for my parents and they immediately hung the painting on the wall.

Birthday gift for my spouseby DAWN MONTGOMERY (DALLAS, TX, US)

The drawing was absolutely amazing!!! It was beyond what I expected!!! The artist did a wonderful job capturing every little detail! I would do this all over again in a heartbeat! It was so simple & easy! My spouse loved his gift!!!

Dog paintingby ian Medford (Austin, TX, US)

The work was amazing! Thank you!

House Watercolor Paintingby LISA TOMASELLA (Little Falls, NJ, US)

I absolute love MyDavinci's water color paintings. I am a realtor and these make for a perfect "sentimental" closing gifts for my clients.

My 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!
