Greatby Hank Ramos (Sun City, CA, US)

My wife was very surprised and very emotional after seeing herself and lovely mother on the portrait who passed away a year ago. I'm very happy and so is my wife.

Better than expectedby Alicia Fryslie ( Iowa, US)

This watercolor has the perfect amount of color and detail to showcase our hospital! It makes a great gift for a loyal volunteer and myDaVinci was so easy to work with....they sent a proof quickly and once approved the painting arrived not long after. Will definitely use them again.

Friendsby Bobby Ruth Cardenas (Lubbock, TX, US)

I emailed a photo of friends to have a pencil drawing done. The artist was ever so good at capturing my friends great smile in the photo. Great work as always. This is the fourth portrait mydavinci has made for me. GREAT WORK!

Outstanding!by Carmen Ramirez (Boerne, TX, US)

I sent four different photos to mydaVinci to put them all together for my final product, which is absolutely gorgeous. They understood everything I needed and wanted this watercolor to show and preserve our childhood memories.

4 generations by William Gorman (Chamblee, GA, US)

Very pleased

Perfect renditionby Mary Anne (HUSTISFORD, WI, US)

The photos I sent were scanned versions of old photos with poor resolution. The artist worked with it and truly captured my dad's look. There were several details I never even thought about that the artist captured, such as the light colored mole under his left eye and his slightly crooked smile. It is a gift for one of my siblings. I couldn't be happier.

Emma Louby Maria N. (Pleasentville, NY, US)

This was a gift for my daughter's birthday and it turned out amazing. She was so surprised and loved it:) thank you!

Baby "M"by Donna Emerick (Bridgeport, NE, US)

This was ordered as Father's Day gift and I could not be more pleased! I have ordered artwork from My DaVinci before so I was aware of the quality of your work. Thank you again!

FANTASTIC by Robert Murdy (Barnesville, GA, US)

I knew when I got this headshot I wanted to do something special. And when I found the website on line it was my dream come true to have a Warhol like portrait. And they out did themselves. It's absolutely perfect. Thank you so much.

Loved it! by Julie Hope (Houston, TX, US)

Our friends bought a new home so we wanted to get them something special to celebrate. We ordered a painting with their dog in the window and it turned out great, they love it and it’s a cherished piece in their home. Easy company to work with, easy to understand laid the pictures and work with for approval. Would highly recommend, thank you!!

MylaMinuteby Dana Hogan (Pasadena, MD, US)

I couldn't be more pleased with my artwork. She is beautiful and looks exactly like the photo I sent. I was able to ask for updates and change things that did not look right to me, as the process went on. Great experience!

Excellent quality!by L Swift (Chesterfield, MO, US)

We had our dog painted as a gift and were very pleased with the results as well as the service. The painting showed more personality that wasn’t evident in the photo we sent. Thanks - we are very likely to do another dog portrait in the future.

My granddogby Maureen Burt (Spring Lake, MI, US)

This is the fourth picture of my kids dogs. They have been awesome and each one spectacular. I will continue to use your artwork for many gifts. It is a great gift and well worth the money!

Heartwarming 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!

Awesome work!by Sally Bricker (Ohio)

We are 100% satisfied with our artwork. They took a photo and rearranged the figures to how we wanted and then did multiple edits to get everything just the way we wanted. They were very responsive to our emails and inquiries. It was a bit pricey due to the number of people in the photo, but totally worth the price! This is something my husband will always treasure.

Thrill of Victory by Ken Skidmore (Mont Belvieu, TX, US)

We could not be more happy with our sketch from myDaVinci. It captured a special moment from a 1979 Texas High School State Championship football game victory. I feel like the sketch turned out better than the actual photograph. Thanks for putting the memory to paper for both coaches and player!

Another great job!by Margaret Weber (Hauppauge, NY, US)

This is the fifth hand drawn color pencil I ordered. Each one is perfect and looks exactly like the photo that was sent to DaVinvi to create the drawing. This drawing was particularly difficult because the baby had a frown in all her Baptism pictures. We asked DaVinci to use a photo of the baby smiling from a different photo and superimpose it onto the Baptism photo. No one could tell that the drawing was actually from two different photographs! FYI - make sure you check if you are ordering the layout in landscape or portrait. Not realizing the drawing's layout was landscape, I approved it. When the drawing arrived, I discovered the error. DaVinici was very accommodating and told me to return the drawing and they corrected the layout. I highly recommend DaVinci because of their talented artists and great customer service.

My client cried when she saw it!by Cameron Sorensen (Holladay, UT, US)

I am impressed each and every time I have a home drawn for a client of mine, something I try to give each Seller that sells a home. There is something about looking at the drawing of your old home, inside a frame on your wall, that makes you pause, reflect and remember the joyous memories that were created in that home. This one was no different. As soon as my client opened up the gift, she started to cry. Tears of joy and appreciation. Thank you for always going above and beyond and to your skillful artists that always capture every detail. It means the world to me and my clients.

Beautiful Work!!!by Molly Bath (Bethel, VT, US)

This was our 5th portrait from your company and we're always pleased with the results. With this one we were VERY specific, nitpicking details because we wanted it to look just right. We were so happy when it arrived, it looks just like him! And his grandmother LOVED her gift! <3. Thank you so much!!

Amazing!!by Dana Elliott (Newport, NC, US)

I do not typically do reviews - I dont want to influence people for or against a product BUT felt i needed to write this for those of you choosing between companies for this type of item like i was. Where you go in blindly trusting the vendor to do a good job. My experience with this company was nothing short of incredible. They were patient while i changed my mind several times over the design, honest about my background options and the final outcome was truly incredible. It was for a friend for her 60th birthday and the detail down to the single hairs on their heads was spot on. She was truly speechless and overcome with emotion at the likeness. I highly recommend them - they are worth your trust.

Excellent Canvas workby Mukesh Shah (Plano, TX, US)

Very courteous and professional staff. Excellent Canvas pictures Awesome customer service

Superb!!!!by Paula Baldridge (Ypsilanti, MI, US)

The photo art of my fur babies is breath taking. Detailed, captures their personalities, professionally done. These are Christmas gift for my husband. He will be blown away when he gets them. Great Job. I will be back!!!!!

baby photoby Leslie Paul (Miami, FL, US)

I like the photo. MAybe I should have previewed it first. I would have like the background to be a little lighter for more contrast. but I was happy with the quality and service. I called to change from paper to canvas, and was taken care of with no problem. came very quickly. thank you.

Very happy customerby Diana Vogrin (Evansville, IN, US)

This is my 5th purchase from myDaVinci.com and we have been very happy with our sketches. While the process is strictly automated, there is a chat feature if needed and they are very accommodating with my revisions after I preview each draft. I have and will continue to recommend this site.

First Married kissby Mary McCabe (Rocky Point, NY, US)

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. This was just one of three pictures I asked to have done and all were done in the timeline I requested in order to give as a gift.

Excellent painting by Robert Smallman (Merrill, WI, US)

The 11 x 14 painting was an excellent representation of the house, based on the photo I had uploaded. I was surprised at how quickly it was completed — and yet how beautifully it was done. I’m very pleased with the resulting work and can’t wait to surprise my wife on our anniversary.

WONDERFUL GIFTby Shawn Moore (Lewisville, TX, US)

My husband purchased this gift for me for Christmas. I was so thrilled as my Doggie Teddie is my baby and I love him dearly. Great Job, Wonderful gift to cherish forever! Thank you

Amazing artwork by Matthew Hotston (Smiths Falls, ON, CA)

This is the greatest company with the best artists, I order many things from them and it’s always above and beyond.

Review on portraitby Hailey Dodson (Gainesboro, TN, US)

The picture was beautifully drawn. No flaws. I will be buying from this company again! I’m so happy with the final copy. I can’t wait to give it out as Christmas gifts!

Lovely renditionby Margaret Williams (Altamonte Springs, FL, US)
