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.

Corgi Memory Photoby Antionett Foster (Hobson, TX, US)

I ordered this drawing for my daughter who recently lost her Corgi Meeko. She loved it! Thank you!

Bravo!by Gayle Miller (Hopewell, NJ, US)

It turned out way better than anticipated! It's a bit scary to think someone you never met could actually capture a feeling from a photo and reproduce it. I just love the way it turned out! It's subtle, soft and perfect. This is my 3rd time ordering from you guys. I've never been disappointed. Happy New Year.

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.

Beyond impressedby Jeff (Bentonville, AR, US)

Purchased this as a wedding gift for a family member. This was last minute as they decided to get married only a couple weeks ago. The couple does all their RenCon festivals so I thought what better gift than a royal painting! I downloaded the appropriate pictures 8 days before the wedding. The next day received a review of what the canvas would look like and approved the picture. To my surprise I got a tracking number showing the canvas had been shipped and the canvas arrived 7 days after I ordered! This thing turned out great, was impressed not only with the quick turn around but also the quality of the print. I did not expect to have it in time to give the couple at the wedding but I did, and they loved it! Thank you so much for the quality work, expedited shipping, and excellent communication along the way!

Great service!by Jason Gold (Garden City, ID, US)

I Ordered a hand-drawn sketch as a christmas gift. After sending in the photo, an associate from mydavinci.com emailed me within a day, verifing what I wanted done. About a week later, they emailed me again with what they had done. I had to approve the product before they would actually send it to me. The sketch was awesome. After my approval, the sketch arrived in the mail within a week. The sketch was even better in person. It was top quality.

Stunning my little Manby Linda Buero (Clinton Twp., MI, US)

The pencil drawing is beautiful. It looks like my baby is looking right at me. Thank you for capturing him, I miss him so much. Joker 9.11.18 - 5.30.23 Gone but NEVER forgotten.

pencil sketchby ANNE MARIE CALIENDO (COMMACK, NY, US)

This is the second time i'm purchasing from mydavinci - and both times the results are amazing! The first was a pencil sketch of my newborn twins - it was a unique and wonderful first father's day gift for my husband. The artist was so patient with me as we got the twins faces just right! The second was a sketch of a friends brand new house. The builder of this home - who ended up seeing the sketch - couldn't believe how beautiful it was - and my friend loved it. What a unique and reasonably priced gift! I'm a customer for life. And, the turnaround time cannot be beat!

Showstopperby Heather Defilippis (Sparta, NJ, US)

Love, love, love my new artwork! Getting so many compliments on the print. I had this picture made years ago and don’t know where I put it. Was so happy to see my husband I displayed on your sight. customer service were so helpful, they told me your picture is always on your account and you can access it at anytime. I was able to order another picture with ease.

Pencil Drawingby Kelly Cartwright (West Fork, AR, US)

Overall, I felt this to be excellent. I did need to go back a couple of times to request modification of the drawing but this was done promptly and to my instructions. And, as a gift, the persons receiving it were so delighted. We would most definitely consider using myDaVinci again. Very, very good!

The Bethpage Homeby KATHERINE Ciavarella (Massapequa Park, NY, US)

I am so excited to give this as a gift to my clients when they close on their home. My client grew up in this home and I know it will be something to treasure as they move to the next chapter in life. I sent a photo and in no time at all I received a preview of this beautiful replica. As soon as I approved it, it was sent to me. The packaging used kept the artwork and frame from being damaged. I will continue to use myDaVinci.com for gifts to my real estate clients. Kathy Ciavarella

Best/Most Emotional Gift EVERby Frank Torres (Palm Springs, CA, US)

Purchased this for my girlfriend. Immediately began crying upon arrival. This is a picture of her recently passed dog, Gracie. Was unsure how she would react, but we both couldn't be happier with the results. The artist did an unbelievable job. Will absolutely make another purchase and recommend this service 100%.

Extremely pleasefby Nathan Ojala (Kirkland, WA, US)

The main thing for me was the artist caught the essence of the photo I sent in. Shading was incredible. I would use them again in a heartbeat and plan to tell my friends and family.

So excited! by Debra McKellar (Keller, TX, US)

I am thrilled to have found DaVinci! I am eagerly awaiting proofs for my second sketch... the first one of my daughter turned out wonderful....they worked with me and redid a couple of places until I was completely happy with the outcome... all at no extra charge.. I would recommend this for any sketch or painting of that special person!

Weiss house portrait by Shelley Weiss (Gales Ferry, CT, US)

Working with your team was a very pleasant surprise in this time of dubious customer service! You were patient, polite, and so accommodating to my various modification requests. The likeness came out wonderfully, small color corrections were spot on and the final product is beautiful. It is accurate but also artistic, with a soft natural homey feel. Thank you!

fathers memory....by Christine Hinkle (Galloway, OH, US)

I had a sketch done for my son-in-law he lost his son last year then he received sketch in the mail he absolutely loved it and also made him cry it was done in such a striking resemblance to his son just a blessing to look at it everyday and thinking good thoughts and having memories of his son that he had lost

Great Closing Giftby Allen McFeaters (Austin, TX, US)

I contracted My DaVinci to do a custom drawing of a home for one of my real estate clients as a closing gift. This client sold his home after building it with his wife over 50 years ago. He raised his children and grandchildren in the home and it was very special to them all. It was nice to give him this gift so he and his family can always have the home with them.

Quality of goodsby pauletta holt (winchester, KY, US)

Extremely satisfied with my purchase. Will likely purchase again and recommend to others. Exactly what I wanted.

Beautiful 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.

Best gift of the seasonby Shana McCullough Downing (Orlando, FL, US)

I was so excited to see my father's face when he opened this for Christmas. He loved it and he is a tough person to get gifts for. This was perfect. My mom displayed it for everyone to see throughout the holidays. Great qaulity and worth every penny!!

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.

Looks great!!by Brice Dudman (Brier, WA, US)

This is the third drawing I've purchased and you really nailed it. That's Wilson, all right. I was very happy with the first one and loved this one. I gotta say my second one, a beautiful German Shepherd didn't do her justice. It was too light and a bit angular. My fault for approving it without voicing my concerns. I'd purchased it for a friend and saw it again recently for the first time in a while and was again disappointed. But this one couldn't have been better

Best birthday gift EVER!!!by Constance Crowley (Arlington, VA, US)

Our sister was SO happy with this special gift we gave her for her 60th birthday celebration! The artist, Ken, was very patient, as we made many change requests to get the caricature just the way we wanted it. There were five of us weighing in and making suggestions. This is a great company, and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience. This is the third time we've ordered from myDaVinci, and each of the caricatures is a treasure!

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

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

My husband by Katie Hummel (Rossburg, OH, US)

This is so awesome. Picked up his personality and it is so special. My husband passed away from leukemia in September and this was the best gift ever for us to not forget him. Absolutely will use your company again. Thank you for your superior service and hep.

Outstanding!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.

davinci sketched pregnancy picby Heather Shatswell (independence, MO, US)

i was amazed at the speed and quality of the drawing they did for me! each draft, they sent me a copy so i could have them tweek it until it was exactly what i wanted. me and my husband are expecting our first baby together and are surprising each other with gifts after the birth. this will be something he can cherish forever! definitely wayyyy worth the money...and only a week total from when they sent me the first proof until i received the final drawing, very safely packaged, in the mail.

House picture by Kelley Trott (Terrell, NC, US)

Thank you for the beautiful watercolor of my sister’s home. They raised their children in this home, but recently moved. It was a house warming gift, and they LOVED it! It is hanging now inside their front door as a reminder of all the memories made there. Again, thank you.

Sketch of Lifelong Homeby Holly Kemp (Tonawanda, NY, US)

Thank you mydavinci for a beautiful commerative drawing of my parents' home of 50 years! My Mom and our family will treasure it forever. Your company was a pleasure to work with, quickly sending updated versions and answering my questions. I've already told many people where I purchased the drawing.
