Wife and her late fatherby Josh Gautreaux (Port allen, LA, US)

Artist matched the picture perfectly. Her father passed rather quickly from a short but intense battle with cancer. This picture shows how soft and lovable of a man he truly was with his daughters. Beautiful piece that we will treasure forever.

Impressiveby Brandi Schriner (Wayzata, MN, US)

I recently ordered a picture for my sister's first anniversary and I could not believe how perfect it turned out! Thank you so much for making this the best gift ever. I was worried how it would look, but when I received it I was so impressed! I will definitely be using your site again. Thank you again.

Pencil Sketch of homeby J. Carter Breed (Houston,, TX, US)

I was very pleased with DaVinci's quick response to my inquiry. Their website was easy to use. The artist submitted a proof to review quickly. The artwork was ready quickly as well. The longest part of the process was the mailing but I did not select express shipping.

Unbelievableby Autumn Sullivan (Glen Allen, VA, US)

I was floored by the authenticity of the portrait done. The picture is two of our loved ones that passed last year. They were able to merge two different pictures to create the finished product. This is not the first time I've ordered from MyDavinci & certainly will not be the last!

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.

Drew's Photo Artby Manny Corallo (Wesley Chapel, FL, US)

Great Job! We ordered this as a Christmas gift for my boss. We made a few tweaks to our order and MyDaVinci responded to our requests in a timely and accommodating manner. My boss received this gift yesterday and he absolutely loved it! Thank you!!

Ink Drawn Homeby Casey Scott-Mitchell (Phoenix, AZ, US)

Fast service, exactly what I was looking for, and the framing looked really nice. This will be the perfect present for a friends' wedding anniversary!

father & son hockey buddiesby Suzanne Levesque (Campbellton, NB, CA)

wish i had a more detailed picture of my nephew and his dad but the sketch turned out very nice... my nephew loved it and it is displayed in the living room. i probably will be buying more artwork in the future.

AMAZINGby Vickie Vizina (Duson, LA, US)

Love, Love, Love our portrait. I purchased this portrait of our deceased German Shepherd for my son as a Christmas gift!!! It was absolutely beautiful, looks just like our beloved Chico and we will cherish it forever. I will definately be ordering from this company again, be it for a human or animal portrait.

Mountain in Coloradoby Barbara Mamon (West Seneca, NY, US)

This is the 3rd sketch I have had done and it is so impressive. The work is professional and done totally to your satisfaction. Customer service was extremely accomodating to meet my time frame. Have used this as wedding gifts and it has been overhelmingly received.

Some of my favorite artwork!!by Nicole K (Hubert, NC, US)

This is our second pop art from My Davinci and they never disappoint! Beautifully canvassed and such vibrant colors in all the right places- they really captured the personality of our German Shepherd! Will continue to patronize this company!

Perfection by Chelsea Haynes (Buford, GA, US)

I decided to have this drawing done for my boyfriend after his grandfather passed away. I cannot begin to explain how amazing the drawing turned out. I was even told the picture I sent in was hard to tell details and the artist still knocked it out of the park. I will most definitely use them again in the future. My boyfriend was more than impressed with his extremely sentimental gift. Thank you for making my idea come true.

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.

Stunning workby Amy Fountain (Cooperstown, NY, US)

I was looking for a gift for my husband and we had a pencil drawing of when our girls were younger and I wanted to update it. I found mydavinci online, uploaded my picture and received a proof and the final product about a week later. We were all very pleased with the drawing, everyone raved at how good it was, impressed with the detail and likeness with the picture. This is a gift that will last a lifetime and I would definitely use again for future work/gifts.

Family Homeby Julie Mayhew (Mapleville, RI, US)

We had this watercolor made for our mom when she moved out of the house she’d lived in for more than 45 years - it’s a beautiful rendition of our family home and we are thrilled to be able to give it to her as a gift! Thank you!

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

Sketch of Lifelong Homeby Holly Kemp (Tonawanda, NY, US)

Thank you mydavinci for a beautiful commerative drawing of my parents' home of 50 years! My Mom and our family will treasure it forever. Your company was a pleasure to work with, quickly sending updated versions and answering my questions. I've already told many people where I purchased the drawing.

Brilliant!by Tracy Alderson (Feltham, , GB)

I loved this when it arrived, couldn't have asked for anything better. Got it as a present for my fiancé as he loves American fire truck and this is his favourite truck...! He said it's the best present he has ever had! Thank you so much for creating this amazing picture x

Hannahby Ted Streuli (Oklahoma City, OK, US)

"Hannah" was one of six pencil sketches I've had my DaVinci do of dogs, all as gifts to friends and family members. Each has been completed on time and the artist has done a beautiful job -- I've never been disappointed. And the recipients have all been thrilled.

Amazing by Robert Buel (Youngsville, NC, US)

I was a little skeptical of using a service like this having spent some time in art. But the process was smooth and simple, the team was very responsive, and the end product made my wife ball her eyes out.

Exceeded Expectationsby Lorraine W. (Cortlandt Manor, NY, US)

I was very hesitant about doing this, because I didn't want it to look amateurish or like a paint-by-numbers job. But I have to say I was really pleased with this, and I know the person I am giving this to will love it! I was also extremely worried about shipping a large glass frame, but it was wrapped securely and arrived in perfect condition. It is important for people to keep in mind that a watercolor is not an acrylic or an oil painting, so the colors are more subtle and delicate. I would absolutely order from myDaVinci again.

Poppyby Dawn Eastes (Nolensville, TN, US)

I submitted a photograph of my best friend's little rescue dog. She lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia in Canada. This will be her birthday present and she knows nothing about it. She is traveling here right now, even as I'm typing this, to visit with family members who live near me outside of Nashville. I'm thrilled with how the pencil sketch turned out and would recommend this artwork group to anyone. It was done to my specifications and was also received in plenty of time for her birthday in just a few days. Thank you very much. She is going to be so surprised. Well done!

More than imaginableby Mark Vaughn (Buffalo, NY, US)

The drawing was a christmas gift for our parents of their first house. They were so surprised and speechless, the emotions were flying high. They immediately hung the drawings and made sure that all visitors over the holidays were shown the gift they received. We were very satisfied with the ordering process, turn around time and authorization process and most of all the final product right down to every detail. It was more than we could ever imagine. Thanks for making our Holidays very memoriable.

Capturing the Heart of Homeby CWC (Delray Beach, FL, US)

With just a few clicks and emails, my MyDaVinci artist captured the beauty, character and heart of our home in an original piece of art. I highly recommend their service, as well. Seamless and flawless. Great job all around!

First Married kissby Mary McCabe (Rocky Point, NY, US)

The artist was very cooperative and really listened to what I wanted and was fine with making changes. Customer service was helpful letting me know when it shipped and sending tracking information. This was just one of three pictures I asked to have done and all were done in the timeline I requested in order to give as a gift.

Excellent gift and excellent customer serviceby Carmi (APO, AE, US)

Running out of ideas for gifts? This is a perfect gift for any occasssion. I sent this as a Christmas present for my in-laws. I ordered way too early and asked if the company could hold it until a few days before Christmas and they did! The painting turned out so well and my in-laws are ecstatic. It is truly a unique gift to give to someone who has everything else in life.

Annieby Kevin Tipton (Kennedale, TX, US)

This was a surprise gift to me from my wife of our furbaby Annie. Loved it!! One of the best thing she has given me in our 40 years of being together.

Juliet @ Fourteen and a half yearsby Myra Riollano (Bronx, NY, US)

I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw the sample. It is truly beautiful, just like my Juliet. I will treasure this forever. I was always hesitant to place my order and I am so happy that I did. I thought having a pencil sketch would be best since she is silver. Every one that sees it can't believe how it is exactly as my picture. Thank you so much for capturing my Juliet's beauty.

Great drawing!by Jessica Garfin (San Diego, CA, US)

This drawing of my friend’a new born baby turned out beautiful! They absolutely loved it and were so happy with how it turned out!

10/10by Allison Smith (Mount Ida, AR, US)

The artist did such an amazing job, they even gave a preview and the opportunity to ask to make a change to the painting if needed. I can’t thank them enough for this priceless painting. It will be cherished forever.
