Delighted!by LDon (CT, US)

You know that feeling when you give a gift that is a true surprise and delight? The fabulous feeling of giving something so special that it makes everyone glow? That was the experience of giving this gift (and, it was by far the best Secret Santa gift at the celebration!). I had a color pencil drawing of my daughter's Philadelphia row house created as a gift. She and her husband love everything about it. The entire process was fun and easy. I worked back and forth with the artist on some edits and everything was produced quickly and expertly. At one point I approved the drawing and then noticed something and asked for one more edit, I also changed the matte and framing - the level of seamless accommodation from my.davinci for both of these changes was remarkable. In the age of AI everything to have this hand drawn piece of art is a true delight. 10 out of 10!

Amazing by Jomar Rosario (Port Saint Lucie, FL, US)

Artwork was amazing, will definitely purchase from here again.

Grandparents and grandbabies by marlina wyatt (Statesville, NC, US)

This is my second purchase from MyDavinci. I can't wait to give these to my daughter and son. They lost their dad and stepmom in 2016 , who never got to see my daughter and son's babies. I know they will cherish them.

Christmas present for my sisterby Lynn Underwood (Mt.Pleasant , TN, US)

OMG!! I looked around everywhere for someone to do a sketch for my sister a Christmas present. She doesn't have kids so her furbabies are it for her. I stumbled across MyDainvci on Google doing a search. I checked them out, they had a large selection of things to choose from. For the right price too. I placed my order and they got right back to me. They answered all my questions. They were courteous and polite. When they were finished they sent me a proof imagine and I was blown away. I was very satisfied. I'll be doing more business with them if I ever need this kind of work done in the future. I've already recommended them to a friend. They sent me the sketch right away. It didn't take forever. I highly recommend this company.

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 Picture Of Our Nephews First House by David Acaster (Lancaster, PA, US)

Did a great job at replicating the picture and making it look exactly like the one sent them. Loved the attention to detail in the artwork. The artist had some questions and suggestions about making the artwork look the way we wanted it to look. They were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Will be placing a few more orders to do drawings of our doggies that have passed away.

Hank's portraitby Joe Herzig (San Diego, CA, US)

The picture turned out amazing! The FedEx delivery was either stolen or lost by FedEx and myDaVinci was able to send an electronic copy so that I could print it out and still give it as a Christmas gift. I cannot thank them enough for their help and support and amazing art!

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.

Amazing by Robert Buel (Youngsville, NC, US)

I was a little skeptical of using a service like this having spent some time in art. But the process was smooth and simple, the team was very responsive, and the end product made my wife ball her eyes out.

ink drawing from photoby Rosemary Vacc (Highland Heights, OH, US)

I found the staff very helpful and accommodating. when asked if I wished changes, in error, I failed to include one other change--I However was very pleased with the rendering, and the service. You worked with me although the quality of the photo was substandard for this.

Exceeded Expectationsby Lorraine W. (Cortlandt Manor, NY, US)

I was very hesitant about doing this, because I didn't want it to look amateurish or like a paint-by-numbers job. But I have to say I was really pleased with this, and I know the person I am giving this to will love it! I was also extremely worried about shipping a large glass frame, but it was wrapped securely and arrived in perfect condition. It is important for people to keep in mind that a watercolor is not an acrylic or an oil painting, so the colors are more subtle and delicate. I would absolutely order from myDaVinci again.

Perfect renderingby James M. (LAS VEGAS, NV, US)

The pencil artist captured our Scout perfectly from the photo given. It is a joyful reminder of when he was puppy and gives us solace in his absence. The mydaVinci people are great. Attentive and prompt customer service and goods was delivered as promised. Highly recommend!

Tennis Ball in Snowby Linda Mathias (Winchester, VA, US)

And my artwork is exactly what I wanted. These are the two my husband & I love. Tennis & snow. Thanks so much. Love it !!!

Such a beautiful pieceby Kristy Mills (Buxton, ME, US)

I had a caricature of my aunt and uncle done as a gift for my aunt after my uncle passed away. The artwork was amazing! The entire process from when I ordered to when I received my artwork was amazingly quick.....I would definitely use my Davinci again.

Watercolor Portrait of Houseby Linda Julian (Rehoboth, MA, US)

The artist that created my watercolor created an outstanding product! I greatly appreciated the opportunity to review the work . I asked for a few changes and they made them very quickly. I gave this as a gift and the recipient was stunned and amazed at the detail and accuracy. I loved seeing the recipient's facial expression of amazement when he saw this for the first time. This was truly a very special gift.

If I could, I would Give it 10 stars!!!!by Kim Perez (Basye, VA, US)

I am over-the-moon about the wonderful artwork from myDaVinci. They were incredibly easy to work with and quick with replies to my questions. I got my proof much faster than I anticipated and the final piece was finished and shipped also quicker that I thought it would take. I plan to use them again to have one done for a friend who recently lost her fur baby. Thank you myDaVinci for offering such a wonderful product!!

Cousins Digging by Shirley Johnson (Santa Rosa Beach, FL, US)

Lovely, just what we wanted. The preview was perfect, the painting arrived as promised protected well in a cardboard tube. It is getting framed now. Family likes it so much, we’ll be ordering copies, smaller versions of ours, for them. Sharing the beautiful work.

Beautiful Art/POP ARTby shelley sigur (Savannah, GA, US)

I ordered this for my husband for Christmas I enjoy giving gifts that are unique I’ve ordered from Mydavinci before and they never disappoint. I originally ordered this in Hipster Art style and changed it to what you see below. It was easy to communicate with the artist online through email to make changes. I also had it framed. This was the first time having one framed by mydavinci. Excellent and quality work! I highly recommend this company and will definitely order again.

Beautiful Workby Caroline Attaway (Milledgeville, GA, US)

Good communication. I think there is a quite a time difference because it would take a while for them to reply, but I did have a few edits that needed to be made. Overall I loved the drawing and so did my mother who received it as a gift. I will definitely use them again! Thank you!

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!

Art from Photoby Phillip DeBruyn (Pawleys Island, SC, US)

I recently commissioned mydavinci to have one of their artists to create a portrait from one of my favorite pictures of me and my daughter. I was very pleased with the outcome and gave it to my daughter as a gift. She was touched by the gift.

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.

Fabulous workmanship!by Gail Labuda (Saugus, MA, US)

I had this sketch made for my daughter and husband and family who are moving to new home. I thought this sketch would make a perfect "housewarming" gift for them to remind them of their "first" home. I am thrilled with the results. I will give the gift in a month, and I can't wait for the happy reaction. My daughter and husband will love this picture!! Job well done. Thank you so much!!!!!

Fantastic!by Claudette Ronalter (Jamestown , CA, US)

Absolutely love this! I can’t believe how real it looks. The frame is perfect bringing out the gold in the picture. Everything is perfect. This is for my husband’s 75th birthday. He will be surprised and very happy! Thanks for such a beautiful job with everything - start to finish…a class act!

our sonby Patricia Fortino (gilroy, CA, US)

This is my eldest son and his girlfriend. They were very happy with their picture. And again, our entire family was very happy. Can't say enough about MyDavinci.

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.

Just like the photoby Laurel York (Asheville, NC, US)

Really nice and I am pleased with the item. Gave as a present to our friend. From a photograph he took of his dog. I did ask for the artist to sign the work, which was not done, but accepted anyway so it’s ok. Would order from Davinci again.

Christmas Surpriseby Frances Conrad (Pequannock, NJ, US)

The family loved the Adam & Eve picture that I had made using my parents wedding photo. It was a surprise "bonus" Xmas gift. It looked great. This was ordered within 2 weeks of Christmas & they were extremely fast in getting the preview ready & we received it a few days after approval. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun & personal gift.

Happy 100 Years!by Kay Isley (Athens, GA, US)

My daughter’s house turns 100 years old in 2024 and she’s planning a birthday party. I now have the perfect present - a beautiful watercolor! I couldn’t be happier with the painting I received. Every detail is captured. I sent two photos - one taken with Christmas wreaths on the windows and snow on the ground and the other with tree in her front yard in full Fall color. The finished product was perfect. I can’t wait to give it to her so she’ll get it at Christmas. I also ordered the digital file to use on note cards and the birthday party invites. I highly recommend mydavinci.com! I'll be ordering from them again soon.

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!
