My friend Tameka's 50th birthdayby Tamica Anderson (PITTSBURGH, PA, US)

Tameka my coworker loved her artwork Queen piece I sent for her upcoming social distance 50th birthday party. I was invited by what the world is experiencing right now I'm not able to attend. Due to extensive travel through the month of October and this birthday gift from me for her 50th makes up for it! My name is Tamica also, only spelled BETTER! haha! My 41st birthday is approaching 2days after Christmas and I'm thinking of using myDaVinci again for a family or friend. Thank you!

Amazingby Amanda Harrah (Gibsonia, PA, US)

I recently had a drawing done from an old picture of my grandmother. The picture was very old and not the best quality and they warned me it might not turn out that great. They were so wrong. The picture turned out absolutely amazing! It was a gift for my mom and she loved it! I was so impressed with the artist's work. The whole process was pretty easy and it was fast shipping too. I will definitely be ordering from them again in the future.

Grandchildrenby David McKissick (Manassas, VA, US)

I had this made for a lady I love from a photo of her grandchildren. Actually I used a couple of photos and I was almost a pest in asking for changes which were done. Everyone who has seen this painting marvels at it. It is a keepsake. Thank you.

Great Christmas Giftby Jason Huffman (Midlothian, VA, US)

I was looking for a great "Baby's First Christmas" gift for my wife, and I had used myDaVinci before for a house sketch. They exceeded expectations and even adjusted minute deatils such as freckles. This was a perfect capture of the moment my wife and son "met" for the first time. Thanks again.

Exactly what we wanted!by AJ (Portland, OR, US)

This is the second piece of artwork my husband and I chose to have myDavinci produce for us, since we loved the first piece they made for us a few years ago - a pencil sketch of our older dog. We chose a water color painting for our next dog, and it captured her perfectly! The artist did a great job portraying the nuances of her face, her soft, wavy hair, and her white/cream coloring. The colors they used for the leaves, grass, and trees in the background were also perfect. I had asked for a few small changes to the first digital mock I saw, but they were all pretty minor, and the artist made the exact changes I requested in a very short turn time. When we received the actual print, it was even better than the digital mock. We LOVE it and are excited to hang it on our wall next to the first pencil sketch we received. We will definitely continue to use myDavinci for our future dog portraits!

Birthday surpriseby Cynthia Woods (Baldwinsville, NY, US)

The hand sketched drawing of my daughter-in-law was beautiful. She was touched when she got it on her birthday. Thank you so much!

Granddaughter by Brenda Miller (Bethlehem , PA, US)

I wasn’t completely happy with the first draft but they made the adjustment I asked for and was completely satisfied with the final product. My granddaughter passed away in June and now we can preserve this special picture of her forever and always remember her every time we see it

Exactly Like the photo by Laurel York (Asheville, NC, US)

This is a beautiful pencil sketch that is exactly like the photograph. Arrived intact and ready for gifting. Was a very well received Christmas present! Would highly recommend Mydavinci to memorialize your special photograph! This is our third order with them and we have been very pleased with all of the artwork

Patchesby 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.

Beautiful gift for new homeowners.by Elizabeth Phillips (Houston, TX, US)

We purchase framed drawings for our new homeowners, and they have all been very well received. We are happy with the process and products received through myDaVinci.com.

Dalmatian Printby Robert Wilson (Atlanta, GA, US)

Love it. The artist truly caught the character of our beloved pet, Ranger. This print is hanging in a prominent location for all to see.

The most beautiful tributeby Erin Spohn (Allegan, MI, US)

The artist captured exactly what I was hoping.

Picture of houseby Katheen Long (Lake Zurich, IL, US)

My neighbors are moving and we got this for them as a going away present. It was perfect, they said it was the best gift they ever received. DaVinci was fast and it looks so cool as a pencil drawing. They even removed the for sale sign for me.

Great work - gift recipient loved it!by Andrew C (Allston, MA, US)

Commissioned a watercolor piece of a friend's childhood home her family had just sold and she loved it! Great recreation of the reference photo without looking like it just had a filter applied to it.

Love it!by Carol Stamper (frankfort, KY, US)

This has been my “go go” wedding gift for the past 10 years! Superb quality and always well received!

REVIEWby Deborah Conaway (UNIONTOWN, PA, US)

THIS WILL BE A NICE SURPRISE FOR MY FATHER'S 90TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

Anniversary 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.

Beautiful! by Gina (New Jersey)

I could not ask for a better experience. The customer service was on point and the artwork was PERFECT! The artist took the photo I submitted and blended it so perfectly with the portrait - the outcome was breathtaking. Thank you - I will be using your service again and again and again....

Beautiful re-creationby Reena Chokshi (Houston, TX, US)

I ordered a watercolor as a gift. It’s a picture of a relative’s home during the Northern Lights event. I sent in my photo and explained what details I wanted changed (it’s an outdoor scene so I cut out people walking by, etc). Within a short period I was sent a beautiful display that will be an amazing keepsake! So impressed!

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.

Dads placeby Kevin C (Bellmore, NY, US)

I purchased this drawing as a gift for a friend who had recently lost her father.The entire process of losing him and selling the family home had been incredibly emotional for her. When I presented her with the drawing she was overwelmed with emotion, it truly captured the essence of her father in such a beautiful way. The detail and craftsmanship are extraordinary. Thank you for creating such a meaningful and lasting gift.

Great attention to adjustmentsby Barbara McWee (Oakland, MI, US)

Because our grandchild's face was scrunched up as the butterfly landed on her nose and was quite obscured by a shade in the original photograph, it was difficult to make her face look just like her. DaVinci reworked the drawing with the assistance of additional photos we provided and the end result was a treasure.

GORGEOUS by betsy graham (norton, MA, US)

IT WAS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR MY SON. HE WAS ABSOLUTELY THRILLED, HE COULDN'T GET OVER HOW IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE THE PHOTO I HAD SENT, RIGHT DOWN TO THE FRECKLE ON HIS DAUGHTER'S CHEEK. YOUR WORK IS AMAZING !!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE TO USE YOUR COMPANY IF THEY WANT A PERSONAL AND SENTIMENTAL GIFT FOR THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE IN THEIR LIVES. SINCERELY BETSY GRAHAM

Wembleyby Marge Blatt (Lakewood, CO, US)

The photo we sent had red eye of some sort, and the artist made amazing eyes to make up for the bad photo. The portrait captured Wembley perfectly and we are very pleased, and know the family who we are giving the drawing to will as well. Good job!

Michaelby Rita Weber (Kenosha, WI, US)

Perfect. My best friend will appreciate. This print is of her husband age 50 who died of covid recently. Her son actually took this picture of his Dad, so it means a lot. Thanks again!

Stunningby Cheri T. (Ewing, NJ, US)

This is absolutely gorgeous. The artist has tremendous skills and the detail is impeccable. I will treasure this Forever. Thank You

A M A Z I N G!!!by Emily Lewis (Santa Clarita, CA, US)

I was super happy when I received and open the package from MyDaVinci. The artwork is AMAZING!!! Excellent! I'm 100% satisfied. I was VERY impressed the way they respond to my email. Super quick! I'm not a high tech person. However, with their help I was able to submit my artwork and in an instant, someone was able to send me an artwork image for my review. It was Perfection!!! I had contacted other company in the past but was frustrated waiting for response and the artwork was not even as good as MyDaVinci. I will definitely order again.

Gma sketchby Michael Shelby (Parker, CO, US)

The artist did an amazing rendering of my beautiful girl and her grandsons!! She's gonna cry when she sees this wonderful memory !! Thank You for living up to your name....myDaVinci ;)

My Granddaughter's Pictureby Gregory Beamer (Pomona, CA, US)

I really did some homework before picking myDaVinci, and still was not prepared for the product or the service. You can't beat this company for dedication to detail, speed and accuracy of their products. We hung it in our guest bedroom, and told each other that we knew our daughter's remarks when she saw it - we both won - "I want it!" Thanks for being true to your advertising, and you have great artists on staff!

LOVE IT!!!by Lori McGartland (Folsom, CA, US)

The pencil sketch was a wedding gift for my son. It is his favorite picture from one of their very first dates. The artist worked closely with me to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. Will definitely keep this company in mind for future presents!
