Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoLove It!!by Nikiya Smith (Newark, NJ, US)

I had been thinking of doing this for some time and then I finally got around to getting it done and I very glad I did. I absolutely love my artwork!! (I recommend electing the email preview. Of course so you can see exactly what your getting. In my case, a particular detail and the elimanation of it made me go from liking it to loving it.)

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosBella by Christina Ellenburg (Jacksonville, FL, US)

The art provided was fabulous. My sister will treasure the rendering of her dog Bella and she already has handing in her office where she will see Bella's drawing every day. The one detail I would have changed is providing some 'white space' around the image This was of no fault to myDaVinci or the artist, but instead me understanding the process. There are many sites that provide this service, but I am sure I selected the best. Thank you!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPerfect!by Karen Lynn Pfrimmer (Parksville, BC, CA)

This was so well done, and it was exactly what I wanted. The process was terrific. I was sent the sketch to review, just as they promised, and was able to request a few very small changes, which they did, and then sent back for another review. They were very accommodating, and they had to combine a number of pictures together to get exactly what I was wanting. It was perfect! and Grandma was very happy!

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosMy Father Lives onby Rui Sousa (Vernon, CT, US)

My Father died on June 4th, in making preparations we found that we did not have a really good photo of him to display for the funeral. After searching for day's we found one. We tried to enlarge it ourselves, and found that we could only make it so large before it lost its impact. A friend suggested having it turned into a painting. The cost was minimal and the finished product's value to my family far outweighed the financial impact. I recommend My Davinci.com to anyone I can now.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsChristmas Gift for my Husbandby Shannon Williams (Sanford, NC, US)

MyDavinci went beyond my expectations. The communication from this company is phenomenal! Through the entire process, they made sure that my drawing was exactly what I wanted by sending sketches and asking for approval on each one. The artwork arrived in a very timely manner. My husband loves his picture and stated how great of a job this company did. (He has an art and design degree) I highly recommend this company if you are looking for hand drawn artwork. I will definitely use them again!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsJoplin Rememberedby Sam Burkes (Alexandria, VA, US)

I took a chance with sending in a photo of my wife's dog that she had to euthanize. It was an idea I had for a Christmas gift and her first artwork for her new office. I am so happy I decided to go with My DaVinci because the drawing brought tears from her eyes. It is so incredible. The artwork was done quickly and on time. I love having the Artist's signature on it. I will be using My DaVinci again.

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosAnniversary gift for hubbyby Ellie Brandt (Burr Ridge, IL, US)

This is my husband's favorite photo of us and it was getting a little discolored behind the frame. When I found your website, I knew this would be the perfect gift. I didn't have a digital file or even a negative. I just sent in the photo and within a week, I had this lovely version of my husbands favorite photo. I gave it to him last weekend while celebrating our anniversary in LasVegas and he was truely blown away. "You really hit a home run with this gift....it's perfect", he said through a huge smile. Thank you so much to all the creative people at myDaVinci.com. You made our anniversary even more special.

I appreciate the option to have the PDF sent to me vs waiting for the formal print to arrive. This saved me on the cost and provided an expedited option by printing at my local Staples. Thank you, my partner loved her gift - unique and different.

Custom Caricature from Photos for Individuals, Couple, Family, Kids and Groupfast, quick, preciseby Neeru Chopra (Rome, GA, US)

I was a pain to DaVinci!! I edited and re-edited my picture again and again --- but the artist I worked with was great!!!!! I would describe to him/her what I wanted and he/she would deliver with extreme precision. I was so happy with the final product and the person I gave this gift to (a professor at med school) was also very happy! He loved it! I already know that I will come back and purchase from DaVinci again!! ALSO - they were very fast at delivering what I needed (for some extra money of course - but hey thats professionalism!!). Go for it - dont think twice, this site is a keeper

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMy 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!

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoDog pop artby Nicholas Losasso (Phoenix, AZ, US)

Really unique gift for the dog lover in your life. Uploading and creating was easy. They send you a proof to review and approve or request changes. I chose to change the finish style. Within a day they had a revised proof. Love it, highly recommend

Was hoping to catch the emotion and feeling of my children in this particular moment, One of which may only have meaning to me and my wife as we were there, but I feel did a great job as that anyone sees it would love it. I was really thrilled on how it came out and we do it all over again just the same if I had to. Super pleased!
