Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPortrait & Beloved Dogby Cindy Kutchmark (Cypress, TX, US)

This was a surprise Christmas gift that after ordering and before receiving our beloved dog was sent to heaven which made this so much more meaningful. The artist captured the photo with great detail. It was/is lovely. Thank you so much for the memory to be displayed in our new home.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsA Special Giftby BRADLEY BRILL (Carmel, IN, US)

We gifted a black & white rendering of their new house to our son and his family. At a time when giving is often reduced to using links from emails after requesting a wish list from our loved ones, it was very satisfying to conjure up this unexpected gift. Wherever this young family resides in the years to come, this artwork will trigger memories of a very special time for them in their first house and all that that entails.

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoNY house that grandfather builtby Robert Morris (Maynard, MA, US)

Excellent watercolor captures the look and feel of this sentimental property. The artist removed overgrown brush from the scene and really fixed the appearance which had become obscured. The detail is exquisite such as showing individual bricks in the house and chimney. The overall balance of color and texture is sublime.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMy daughter’s horseby Michelle Sutton (Meadville, PA, US)

I decided for Christmas I would get my daughter a pencil drawing of her horse. The picture turned out perfect and she loved it. I also purchased one for my husband, he was also pleased with the quality. I will be purchasing three more of our other horses in the near future.

Custom Renaissance Portrait Little Prince Baltasar on Horseback from PhotoDelightful Artworkby M Arnold (Houston, TX, US)

I am extremely pleased with the portrait of my cat in a masterpiece. The colors are vivid, the image is crisp, and the paper is extremely high quality. It's a really fun piece of artwork that brightens up my office. I highly recommend!

Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosGreat Workby bill mead (salt lake city, UT, US)

I am very impressed with this company. I needed the work done quickly and they did every thing they could to get my job done and delivered. My wife loved the picture. We were married at a later stage of our lives. She has always wondered what we would have been like if me married at 21 years old. MyDaVinci made that happen for her. This was a very good experience for me. I am glad I found MyDaVinci.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosReed Houseby Melody Veltri (Findlay, OH, US)

My friend and her husband are moving to another city after 40 years of raising children and living in their family home. As a gift, I took a photo of the home and My DaVinci created a beautiful colored pencil drawing of it. I asked for a few additions to the landscape and for the artist to eliminate clutter on the porch. "Hind" did an amazing job. I will most definitely give this kind of gift again, and I think the price is extremely reasonable for the quality of the artwork.

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from Photoscouldn't be happierby nancylee prohaska (Exeter, RI, US)

EXCELLENT work! Absolutely beautifuul workmanship, high quality and just couldn't be happier. After the sample review, I asked if they could bring out her bright blue eyes and they did without hesitation and got the final review back almost immediately and the eyes were just like the picture. Would highly recommend to anyone, in fact I have had others done before this and was just as happy and have referred several people and they loved there's also. Thank you for making our fur babies come alive in your renditions!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoFantastic Giftby Marietta Korinko (Powell, OH, US)

I ordered this watercolor of my son and daughter-in-law's new home as a birthday gift for my daughter-in-law. The painting was an exact match to the photo I had sent to myDaVinci, but the water color softened the image, and somehow made the house seem like a home. I have not given this beautiful painting to my daughter-in-law yet, but I am excited to do so--I know she is going to love it.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMother and Daughterby Richard Darlington (Calgary, AB, CA)

I was looking for a unique Christmas gift for my mother. I recalled watching the sketch artists in Rome's Piazza Navonna last summer and searched the Web for a local artist. I found nothing in my area but I discovered your website and sent two of my favourite photos of my wife and daughter. The finished portrait was exceptional and my mother loved her gift. Well done. I'm searching for other photos that may be suited to a protrait rendering.

Male Golfer Caricature from PhotoThe Golferby Virginia Bowman (Davidson, NC, US)

Fabulous job! Looks just like him and love the fact they could custom paint the golf setting. Very fast service. I was a little nervous when I didn't select to preview but it really wasn't necessary. I submitted two photos and a good explanation and it was perfect. Will definitely use again.

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!

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosBetter than Originalby Joshua Dolinger (Holly Springs, NC, US)

We had an old photo of me and my mom when I was a little tyke that we have been talking about getting painted for several years. My dad had taken the photo and it was his favorite. The artist did an amazing job with it and I can't wait for Christmas to roll around and see my parents faces when they unwrap it. Now both of us can have it hanging on our walls.

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoThe 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!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoProfessional perfection by Matthew Lawrence (Portland, OR, US)

I gave the artist a challenging assignment - a photo of our cabin at night, with lights pouring out of large windows. Their standard approach seems to be to portray a house in daylight so they were initially unsure what the true colors should be. They asked for additional pictures to indicate that, and quickly produced a beautifully rendered watercolor of the cabin as it would appear in daytime - with a time lapse video showing the picture being painted! They sent a picture of the first image for my review. I was impressed by the quality but had been hoping for the more dramatic night time scene. They adjusted the tones and colors (not easy with watercolor, I’m sure) and I’m very pleased with the final result. The painting is impeccably rendered and I’m quite pleased by the result. I highly recommend this service and give high marks for the customer service and quality control.

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosPortrait of Bo Roseby JOHN BARTEL (Lewisville, TX, US)

I have had many pictures prepared by the talented artists at myDaVinci, but this is one of my very favorites. It's a picture of my new granddaughter Bo Rose who is named after my wife Roseanne. The artist has captured the beauty of her little face and her curiosity about the world. I really love it!

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoMy Red Houseby Carol ODonogue (Sierra Vista, AZ, US)

My kids gave me a watercolor painting of my home of over 40 years as a Christmas gift. The picture is so detailed and brought tears to my eyes when I opened it. I did order 6 more prints of this to give my kids and grandkids. The work is excellent!!!

Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosMadam Nicoleby Gracie Adderly (Fayetteville, NC, US)

I purchased this as a gift for a friend that recently purchased a new home. The recipient was in tears. The painting was spot on! It will look perfect over the Fireplace. This is not my first time purchasing from myDavinci. I've made several purchases. The talent is superb! The painting is exquisite... appearing a bit more appealing than the original photo. The price is reasonable- considering the great talent. Of course, I'll be back!
