Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsJoplin Rememberedby Sam Burkes (Alexandria, VA, US)

I took a chance with sending in a photo of my wife's dog that she had to euthanize. It was an idea I had for a Christmas gift and her first artwork for her new office. I am so happy I decided to go with My DaVinci because the drawing brought tears from her eyes. It is so incredible. The artwork was done quickly and on time. I love having the Artist's signature on it. I will be using My DaVinci again.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosOur Sweet Dogby Lucille Field (Duarte, CA, US)

Our artwork is just beautiful. It captured the true essence of our sweet dog, Bocelli. My husband was the recipient of this pencil sketch and it brought tears to his eyes. We appreciate the time and care the My DaVinci took to make the artwork just right.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsLittle Manby Petra Brooks (Hinesville, GA, US)

I submitted a photo of my husband and our recently deceased dog Little Man. When I received the proof of the drawing, I felt it was beautifully done, but the dog in the drawing did not look like our Little Man to anyone looking at it who knew him. I contacted myDaVinci about my concern and they allowed me to send a different photo and did a new drawing, which came out so amazing, looking JUST like our little guy. This was the third time I ordered art from myDaVinci and I am more than pleased and have recommended them many times.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosFantastic!by Mary Coffey (Harbor City, CA, US)

This drawing of my late husband captured the warmth and essence without requiring a touch up or correction! The cherry frame I selected was very nice and sturdy. Really top notch work, I definitely will recommend to my family and friends.

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

Personalized American Gothic Masterpiece from PhotosA custom masterpiece!by Tiffany Chin (Long Beach, CA, US)

I gifted this piece of art to my future in-laws for the holidays, and it was a hit.!! The customization process was seamless. I got to select one of my favorite photos (which I may add, was not easy to photoshop!), customize a frame to my liking, and the rest was history. Customer service was also top notch. I had originally submitted a photo that was too low of resolution and was contacted right away to correct that problem. The end product truly exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly order from these pros again.! Thank you!!

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.

I received the pencil sketch of my dog Reese and was completely stunned by how well it was done. That someone has the ability to draw like that is truly a wonder. His portrait was perfect . I would not hesitate for one moment to use myDaVinci's services again.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPencil Drawing of Dogby Stephen Hilty (San Luis Obispo, CA, US)

I love the pencil drawing of our dog. The myDaVinci site was easy to use and I was amazed at how quickly I received the drawing. The framing was done very well.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsSchnoodle Love IIby Mary Stepura (Cary, NC, US)

Same review as on the other picture I ordered. Have to add a mat to the outside of the drawing making the total size when framed much larger than I intended. Might be helpful to share on your site that the drawing will fill the entire page and to allow for a mat and frame which will make the final piece at least 1-2 inched larger in total size.

The sketch represents the picture perfectly. The details and dimensions are what makes it so special. This tablescape represents the meeting of two sets of parents before a year full of exciting events: an engagement and a wedding! I love that this memory will live on through art.

RoyColorful Imageryby Donna Candelori (Angels Camp, CA, US)

The artist made the picture come alive! I love the colors and textures that were chosen based on what the artist saw from the photograph I submitted. I only had to provide a few lines about who the person was in the image and any favorite colors, and magic was cast to produce a picture I'm thrilled to have on my wall.
