Better than expected!!!by Kayla (Roswell, GA, US)

This came out better than expected! We did do a mini “photoshoot” to upload a picture where the face had the right angle and similar lighting. We only had the artist make one small modification (partially hide the ear) and it came out perfect!!! We love it so much!

Surpassed my expectations by Ayo B (Havertown , PA, US)

It’s so beautiful it melts my heart, service was great and portrait came out amazing. I will definitely make another purchase

Vibrant by Jeannine Koval (CHATHAM, NJ, US)

Thank you. You've brought a summer memory to life. The definition is beautiful..

Grandparent's houseby Donna Henry (Knoxville, TN, US)

My Grandparent's house hand portrait was timely and well finished per request with adequate communication thru out the process. It is hanging with my Grandparent's portrait

Kittensby Vikki Milsted (Mill Creek, WA, US)

the artist captured the kittens perfectly and did an outstanding job! This is the 3rd time I've purchased drawings from myDavinci and I couldn't be happier! Definitely a returning customer...

My beautiful DJby Joan Glacken (Estero, FL, US)

The color pencil drawing of my dog DJ is beautiful. It perfectly matches the photo. I was very impressed by the customer service and how quickly the staff responded to emails. It was a pleasure working with this company. I just love the print and how the artist captured my DJ.

Completely Satisfied by Angie Estevez (Middletown, DE, US)

The hand-penciled drawing was wonderful and blew my wife and I away with how accurate and detailed it was. It fully captured our dog’s features and smile, despite her being an all black dog. And it also accurately portrayed my wife who was holding our dog in the drawing. The process was very good too. Before framing up and shipping us the drawing, we received a preview via email for approval and given the opportunity to request changes. And from start (ordering) to finish (drawing in hand) was about 3-4 weeks. We love our drawing and will treasure it for years to come!

Best gift idea ever. by Brianne (Inverness, IL, US)

I’ve ordered from mydavinci twice, and both times I’ve been very happy with the product and the service. I ordered a pencil drawing of my niece 2 years ago, and this year I ordered one of my nephew- both Christmas gifts for my sister. The customer service side of mydavinci is great, they keep you updated throughout the process of your order. The delivery is very timely, even with it being a busy holiday season. The final art is amazing!! My sister cried when I gifted her the drawing of my niece, and I’m assuming she will cry tomorrow when I give her the one of my nephew.

Excellent product and service!by Giustizia Cerniglia (VERONA, WI, US)

I submitted a relatively blurry image to be reproduced. They expressed concern and asked for a better copy (understandable), of which I didn’t have. They used the original that I sent them and it came out gorgeous!! I didn’t have to change a single thing about it. I am wanting to have a few more of these done as gifts, and some for myself. If you are hesitating - don’t!! These are wonderful and well worth the price. An excellent experience through and through.

Absolutely beautiful!by Camille Chadwell (Cheektowaga, NY, US)

Absolutely beautiful! These are my Granddaughter's dogs and she cried when she opened her Christmas gift. Kudos to the artist who did this EXACTLY as I specified. Would absolutely do this again. WELL WORTH THE PRICE!

Dylan the Warriorby Kim Voorhees (Piscataway, NJ, US)

I purchased this for my great nephew's 5th birthday. I wanted something different and not just the basic cars and trucks to give him. The whole family loved this and he proudly has hung it in his bedroom. Thank you again for allowing me to give that something no one else thought of, and will be around forever.

Perfect Reproduction of Dogsby David Brooks (Cambridge, ON, CA)

This service is amazing. I sent a photo with instructions to remove background noise and the harnesses from the three dogs. The artists reproduced not just the appearance of the dogs, but even seemed to capture the character of the dogs through the eyes. The cock-a-poo in the drawing was 17 years old and just lived a couple weeks longer after the photo. We are happy to be able to memorialize her with her puppy friends, the 2 pugs.

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!

Romeo our Romeoby Denise Evans (Rockford, IL, US)

Our beautiful Romeo crossed over the rainbow bridge just about a month ago. He was 15 years old and we loved him so much even though I only had him for the last year and a half. My son had him for 14 years. Thank you, my da Vinci. This is the third time I have utilized your services for loved fur babies that have crossed over. Your artwork is always amazing!!!!

Multi subject pencil sketchby Sharon Miller (Ponce Inlet, FL, US)

I wanted my 5 grandchildren’s faces combined into one sketch. They took my individual photos and combined them perfectly into one beautiful drawing. I was blown away at how realistic it was.

A gift to my friendby Frances Archer (CAMLACHIE, ON, CA)

I wanted something different, something not too expensive. A retirement gift she would be able to keep and every time she saw it would remember the day she retired and remember me! After all I think I gave her the best gift at the party. Everyone raved about it and wanted to know where I got it with the date of retirement right there on the picture! It was a sure hit!

Kaydee by Bonnie Hilliard (Lawrenceville, GA, US)

My granddaughter wanted this to give to her mom on her birthday. She was so happy and excited she gave it to her mom before her birthday. She pointed out the details of Kaydee that the artist captured and was very pleased with the drawing. Will buy again from mydavinci.

Stunning my little Manby Linda Buero (Clinton Twp., MI, US)

The pencil drawing is beautiful. It looks like my baby is looking right at me. Thank you for capturing him, I miss him so much. Joker 9.11.18 - 5.30.23 Gone but NEVER forgotten.

Family home paintingby Fedor Jill (Medfield , MA, US)

I could not be happier with this painting! The artist did an amazing job capturing the true essence of my family’s home! The end product is beautiful, professional, and so special to us. Thank you!!

joyce grandchildby Joyce Salvador (SAN ANSELMo, CA, US)

This is my grandson. Everyone in the family loved it, my son has similar picture when he was that same age. Looks just like him.

My grandsonsby Maureen Walker (Shreveport, LA, US)

I am thrilled with the work myDaVinci did in order to turn the photo I sent into a colored pencil sketch. I am very happy. It is a gift for my son, and I think he will be as happy as I am. It was easy to order, and delivery was quick and efficient. Also, I would rate their customer support with a superior rating. the hard part was in making up my mind as to what finish I wanted. There are many choices.

Ajaxi, our dogby LeeAnn Wralstad (Virginia Bch, VA, US)

We were very happy with our sketch of my son’s dog Ajax. The sketch looked just like our grand dog and we were very happy with how quick the turn around was, since this was a Christmas present. I was very happy that we were given a chance to see the sketch to make sure we were happy with it and if we wanted any changes to the sketch , before they sent it to us. A very happy customer and would definitely recommend this site. We will most likely use them again for another sketch! LeeAnn

Family Homeby Katherine Thomas (Solon, OH, US)

We’ve lived in our home for 26 years and are preparing to move on. It’s the only house our children have really ever known, so we wanted to memorialize it and bring it into our new place. I took some photos while all the greenery is blooming and the sun is shining. My DaVinci did a beautiful job bringing it to life. The process of reviewing and approving the proof was easy. I’m very pleased with the final product and can’t wait to hang it up!

Drawing of Coffeeby Viviana Ramos (Norwalk, CT, US)

Coffee's entire 15 years of life was spent by my dad's side. He was truly my dad's loyal companion. This beautiful pencil drawing was a copy of one of my favorite photos of Coffee. The artist did an amazing job! It's simply stunning -- and it brought so much joy to my dad. Thank you so very much!

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.

First time experience by Patricia Fortino (gilroy, CA, US)

First time with MyDaVinci! was amazing! Not only extremely pleased with the sketch of my 2 youngest grandkids, the great help with questions I had were answered. I guess me ordering 4 more artworks say it all! Thank You MyDaVinci

Professional 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.

Love itby Leigh Tilley (Kernersville, NC, US)

I absolutely couldn’t have asked for a better picture of my fur baby! This is the third drawing I’ve had done by My Davinci. Ordering one for my mom of her fur baby for Mother’s Day.

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.

Great service!by Jason Gold (Garden City, ID, US)

I Ordered a hand-drawn sketch as a christmas gift. After sending in the photo, an associate from mydavinci.com emailed me within a day, verifing what I wanted done. About a week later, they emailed me again with what they had done. I had to approve the product before they would actually send it to me. The sketch was awesome. After my approval, the sketch arrived in the mail within a week. The sketch was even better in person. It was top quality.
