Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosA 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!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoAmazing work!by MGD (BENTON, AR, US)

This is the 3rd time I have used myDaVinci and I am yet again extremely impressed! You should be able to make up your mind just in looking at the reviews/pictures but I highly recommend if you are considering. I have had 3 different pieces created in 3 mediums (pencil sketch, colored pencil and watercolor) and all have turned out better than I had hoped. Makes for a very thoughtful gift that lasts forever. Repeat buyers tip - Assuming you don't have a special frame the piece needs to go in, have it shipped in a frame they sell. So much better having it ready to go when you receive. (I did not opt for this option on my first to save money)

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsAMAZINGby Katlin Salewski (Columbus, GA, US)

My Davinci did an amazing job on my artwork. They truly took the time to include all details of the image. As this was a gift, I wanted to ensure that every detail was added as this was super special, and they did just that. I am truly amazed at how well it turned out. I will definitely be purchasing from here again. I will recommend My Davinci to everyone. The process for ordering was so smooth and My Davinci customer support ensured to keep me updated in my order and made any changes I asked for before creating my artwork.

FatherhoodHeartwarming gift!!by Chandra Antonatos (Aiken, SC, US)

I'm currently pregnant and although the baby is not born until this October, it was father's day and I thought it was a cute idea to get my husband the photo of the father's hands holding the baby's feet and I used the personilization to add the baby's name and left the Father message as is and it went together well. It was something so cute to give my hubby and can be put in the baby's room later as it has his full name on it with the cute baby feet in father's hands picture! I think it makes a great gift for a new father and is very heartwarming and pretty to have!

Personalized American Gothic Masterpiece from PhotosA custom masterpiece!by Tiffany Chin (Long Beach, CA, US)

I gifted this piece of art to my future in-laws for the holidays, and it was a hit.!! The customization process was seamless. I got to select one of my favorite photos (which I may add, was not easy to photoshop!), customize a frame to my liking, and the rest was history. Customer service was also top notch. I had originally submitted a photo that was too low of resolution and was contacted right away to correct that problem. The end product truly exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly order from these pros again.! Thank you!!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsDrawn sketch by Christine S. (Seven Hills, OH, US)

I am very pleased with my drawing. I felt customer service was very responsive during the creation process and that the modifications I requested on the actual sketch were done how I envisioned. I’m very grateful for the ability to have been able to put together multiple images. This is the only picture I will ever have of all three of my children together before my youngest passed away. Having this drawing to see brings me so much joy. The artists at mydavinci are truly talented.

Hand Painted Oil Painting Portraits from Photos | Photo to Oil PaintingGracie at the windowby Yvonne Mina (Scarborough, ME, US)

We lost our beautiful Labradoodle Gracie, after 16 years of unconditional love . She was always there to make us laugh , comfort us , and motivate us to keep going everyday. She was truly an angel. Her loss has deeply sadden everyone in our family. Our two boys who, were little ,when she was a puppy grew up with her constant love and attention. They are grown now, and living away , but they cherished the visits home just to see her sweet face. My husband and I, now empty nesters ,came home every night to a house still full of life, because Gracie was waiting for us. Her picture was so beautifully done and helped with our grief. Thank you .

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.

I was very happy with the sketch. I am glad I got a chance to review it before you sent it out. The ball was not in the picture at first. I wanted it in the picture because Patches always plays with it not only with us but also with visitors. I will show off the sketch & recommend you. Thanks again.

I am beyond pleased with my piece of art, a housewarming gift for my best friend.

I am over the moon happy with the outcome of this piece and 110% satisfied with the quality of it as a heirloom for years to come.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosNoraby Karen Grabherr (Bristol, CT, US)

We absolutely loved the drawing of Nora, a 10yo Great Dane who passed away on her Birthday. We gave the sketch as a gift to the family and they adore it. My Davinci were so easy to work with and accommodating. I loved the way they give you a preview of the sketch so you have the opportunity to change or add anything you want to the picture. Will definitely tell my friends about this! Just like a friend showed me!

This is our fourth artwork over the years we have purchased from myDaVinci. We have been very happy with all four results. Each one was a gift to someone whose family pet was still with them or had passed. In any event, all our family members were extremely happy with the results.

This is my second purchase from myDavinci. Both experiences were great. The ordering process is simple, myDavinci is responsive, they provide a preview of the work before it is finalized so you can request edits. Both of the items I purchased were gifts and the recipients love them.

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoEverything I hoped for...by Julianne Olson (Seattle, WA, US)

The result of the photo I sent in was amazing. The pop art of my granddaughter was perfect. It was a gift for my daughter and son-in-law and when they opened it, it was so great to see their jaws actually drop. They were stunned and so surprised. The communication between myself and myDaVinci was excellent. They really delivered with a wonderful product which was delivered exactly at the time they promised. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.
