Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from Photoswatercolor artby Robert Damico (STAFFORD, VA, US)

I sent a picture for DaVinci to create a watercolor print for me. It came out great. They asked for my approval before sending to me and even made a few adjustments based on my comments. I'm getting ready to order another watercolor from them. Recommend them strongly for anyone seeking an unusual gift.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPerfect One of a Kind Memory!by JeffP (NE)

This sketch drawing is exactly what I envisioned when I submitted the photo. Our Pekinese was with us for almost 16 years and wanted something to remember her by that was high quality, unique, and handmade. I put in a grey wood frame and can't wait to share with the family for Christmas. Thank you so much for your art talents and being a part in remembering our sweet Izzy.

Personalized Mona Lisa Masterpiece from PhotoOutstanding!by Edward Leighton (COEUR D ALENE, ID, US)

I was truly WOWED! Creating orders with myDavinci is extremely easy. I simply sent in a background pic I had found and had myDavinci add my head from a photo. They even re-sized my head shot as requested. Shipping is fast and my art was very well packaged. I have made several purchases and have been extremely pleased with them all. I am looking forward to future purchases. I would highly recommend trusting myDavinci with your artistic creations.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsAn Adored Motherby Melanie Hardnett (Atlanta, GA, US)

I received a myDavinci hand drawn photo of my Grandmother and I in Nov 2020 from a dear friend. I adored it so much and how accurate it depicted the original photo. It warmed my heart as my Grandmother passed away at 94 years old in Sept 2020. As soon as I received my drawing I knew I'd have one made for my favorite aunt. Her birthday is coming up soon and this is her gift. I love it so much and know she will share the same sentiment. A keepsake she and I will have forever.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsFabulous 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!!!!!

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosHouse Portrait by Heather Taylor-Wagnon (Bastrop, TX, US)

The artist captured the beauty of the house and it was done with a picture that wasn’t that great. The fact that they were able to pull out the proper details. I know my Aunt will cherish this as she moves on to the next chapter in her life. I will definitely use my davinci again and likely soon!

Love Birch Tree Pencil Drawing Print with Custom Text for Wedding and AnniversaryLove 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!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMy daughter & granddaughterby Donna Emerick (Bridgeport, NE, US)

In searching online for an unusual, memorable gift for my daughter's first Mother's Day, I found your site. The order process was very easy and I was DELIGHTED with the picture. I love the fact that I was able to preview the artwork and request changes before it was shipped to me. My daughter is one of those who rarely, rarely cries, but when she saw the lovely pencil sketch, she sobbed. Thank you! My only "complaint" would be that I didn't receive my artwork in time for Mother's Day because I requested a change, and it slowed down receipt of the artwork by several days. This wasn't a problem for me because it turned out that I didn't see my daughter until a few days after Mother's Day. So, if ordering for a special occasion, be sure to order well in advance. Bottom line--I love the artwork so much that I am ordering again for my son-in-law for Father's Day! Thanks again!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsSpecial Memoryby Stacy Brasher (Concord, CA, US)

This brought tears to our eyes, so thankful for this wonderful memory of our sweet Athena

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsCompletely 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!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsBaby Ellie by lisa (washington, IL, US)

We absolutely love the picture. It looks just like her. My daughter and son in law were very happy to receive such a lasting gift. I will be a return customer, and I think you will have more new customers as well. PS framed and matted, looks superb!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsTruckby Anna S. (Edgewood, WA, US)

The drawing turned out great. I would have given 5 star except for two things. Save your money on the framing, it arrived with the backing already broken and made of cheap materials. Customer service online is auto response only, direct questions do not get answered, only canned responses

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoJust what we wanted by Patricia Nissen (Lake Forest, IL, US)

Oil Painting Giclee Portraits from PhotosPepsi!by Astra Houff (Roanoke, VA, US)

I wanted to get my mother a portrait of her beloved dog, Pepsi, after she lived for 11 1/2 wonderful years. This is the most amazing re-enactment of her personality and spirit... just look in her eyes❣️ Thank you, mydavinci, for making our family such a special treasure that we will cherish for many years to come.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosDelighted!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!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsIt was perfect!by Michelle Simms (Lebanon, OR, US)

This sketch made the perfect gift to my husband. The picture was of his dog who died the day before his birthday three years ago. He almost cried when he opened the box and saw her face staring up at him. It made the most perfect birthday present ever!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsA truly great gift!by Melanie STIEBER (Williamsburg, MI, US)

I ordered three My DaVinci drawings for Christmas gifts. They were all different and so well received! Although the one pictured here is a house drawing, the second one was a picture of grandchildren dancing at a family wedding and a third one featured a family member holding up a newly caught fish. All three fit the personalities of their recipients. The My DaVinci service was as described. Although the gifts were delayed in delivery due to winter weather, the preview feature allowed me to share the gift on Christmas morning. Communication was good. I have one suggestion regarding shipping: Clarify that multiple pictures may arrive in the same shipment. I received three different Fed Ex tracking numbers but only the first one was activated. It caused me to think that the other two were lost in shipping. However, when the first one arrived, the other two were in the same mailing tube. All in all, a great gift!

Mydavinci produced a beautiful watercolor of the beloved house our friends had to leave behind when they moved to a new town. The process was easy and fast. My friends love it!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsFamily Keepsakesby Mary Hoak (Sunriver, OR, US)

I bought 1 for my second grandson's, baptism . Mom and Dad loved it so much that we had one done of our first grandson from his birth picture. They then had twins , they requested these as gifts again at their baptism. Again they were hits. A great company to deal with and the service is great. More grand babies to come. Thanks again. Mary

I absolute love MyDavinci's water color paintings. I am a realtor and these make for a perfect "sentimental" closing gifts for my clients.

Watercolor Pop Art Portraits from PhotosBeautiful Workby Kim Voorhees (Piscataway, NJ, US)

I order two prints for my parents of their great Granddaughter for Easter. I gave to both of them today. The pictures were just beautiful and touched them so much. Great job by this artist and the one who did my another one. I have been using Mydavinci for close to 15+ years so you can guess I love their products.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsTHE BOYSby Shane Jacobson (Bremerton, WA, US)

I WANTED A UNIQUE SPECIAL GIFT FOR MY WIFE THAT WAS SOMETHING SHE COULD CHERISH THE REST OF HER LIFE. I HAD A SMALLER SCALE SKETCH DONE IN THE PAST FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE (THAT IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS)THAT I THOUGHT WAS NICE. I SAW THIS ON THE INTERNET AND LIKED WHAT I SAW. I COULDNT BE MORE IMPRESSED WITH THE EASE OF ORDERING,QUALITY OF ARTWORK, AND HOW QUICK IT WAS DONE. ITS A GREAT PRODUCT.
