Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosLittle Manby Sterling Wolf (Wylie, TX, US)

We lost our four year old little man unexpectedly five months ago. It has been difficult since he was so young. I gave this to my wife and she burst out in tears. The details are amazing and there is no question it’s Bruce. You captured his essence and joy in his expression. Thank you for helping us honor his life and be able to see him as he was, daily.

Comic Book Portraits from PhotosChristmas gift funby Susan Ludlam (San Diego, CA, US)

I was so impressed with the quality and speed in which I received this artwork, especially since I decided at the last minute to have it done. In my haste, I chose a photo taken by a phone and MyDaVinci was able to replicate the personality of my granddaughter, as well as clearing the busy-ness of the background. I highly recommend this company for this fun effect!

Surfer Chick Caricature from PhotoFoxy the Surfer Girlby Kim Voorhees (Piscataway, NJ, US)

I have a shore house and I had a caricature done of my 3 little dogs. I then got a 4th little one...and I had to have her on the wall with the others...so I had MyDaVinci do a new one of Foxy. We put her up this past weekend next to the other one we already have. Love MyDaVinci. I have had pencil sketches also done by them. The turn around, quality and most of all the art work talent is top notch. Thank you.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPatchesby Catherine Hamill (Rahway, NJ, US)

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.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsStunning 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.

Personalized Mona Lisa Masterpiece from PhotoBeautiful Rendition of my Wisha Lisa!by Amanda Hills (Newhall, CA, US)

The canvas was beautiful and the brush strokes that were applied to the horse's head look whimsical and natural. I would have given this 5 stars, but I believe the hands on the painting are too dark. I wish I had realized this, prior to purchase. However, I am overall pleased with my Wisha Lisa!

Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosSistersby Joesph Kunkle (Baltimore, MD, US)

We felt the customer service was exceptional. We were very happy with our end product. It is important to take into consideration if the picture you are choosing will look like an art piece. Sometimes candids make a better result. It is also important to consider the style whether it be water color, pencil, etc. We were very impressed with this company.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMemory of my grand fur babies. by Debbie Tunney (Belle Vernon, PA, US)

This is my second order to My Davinci. The first was my son’s dog. It was absolutely beautiful so that’s why I decided to get my daughter one when her two dogs passed away ten days of each other. Again I was so happy with this one. It showed their character. It is amazing how they captured this. Thank you so much for two beautiful drawings. I will be using them again.
