Noraby Karen Grabherr (Bristol, CT, US)

We absolutely loved the drawing of Nora, a 10yo Great Dane who passed away on her Birthday. We gave the sketch as a gift to the family and they adore it. My Davinci were so easy to work with and accommodating. I loved the way they give you a preview of the sketch so you have the opportunity to change or add anything you want to the picture. Will definitely tell my friends about this! Just like a friend showed me!

Major General Dadby William Mesure (Quakertown, PA, US)

We were trying to find something different for our dad, and this worked out great! He is a huge military buff, so it was right up his alley. We are glad that we chose the oil painting, and not the photo option, as it looks just like a painting. I also sent in a bunch of different aged pictures and they did a great job compiling them into one good mix shot. He loves it! As did we! We will use you guys again for sure! Easy and fast! Thanks!

Dogs in Heavenby William McVay (Midland, GA, US)

My three dogs passed away over a nine month period. We had one poor image with all three of them together, littered with furniture, plants and my hairy legs. The myDaVinci artist removed the trash, and gave me the exact impression I was looking for. It took my breath away when I saw the proof. It is truly a gift that my family will treasure forever.

JoZ Walesby Julianne Mayville (GLADSTONE, MI, US)

I just love this picture. The artist did a fantastic job replicating the photo I sent. This is our 5th drawing from myDaVinci and they have done a great job on everyone.

Awesome work!by Sally Bricker (Ohio)

We are 100% satisfied with our artwork. They took a photo and rearranged the figures to how we wanted and then did multiple edits to get everything just the way we wanted. They were very responsive to our emails and inquiries. It was a bit pricey due to the number of people in the photo, but totally worth the price! This is something my husband will always treasure.

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.

Love the Art Workby Nat Collins (Larose, LA, US)

We absolutely love the picture and is presently hanging on the wall in our living room!!! Will be purchasing more in the near future!!!

One of a kind giftby Joe Steel (NJ, US)

extremely impressed with the whole experience. We wanted a different gift for my brother's 50th birthday so I found an old photo of him working on one of his first cars. Da Vinci turned it into a unique personal gift. Thank you so much

Gift of DaVinci watercolor of new houseby Annamary Sullivan (Falls Church, VA, US)

Painting was commissioned as a housewarming/birthday present for a family member who just purchased a new, historic home. Exceptional work! He was, in his own words, “blown away“ by how terrific it was. Not only would I do something like it again, he plans to take the idea and do it for others for special occasions. Thank you so much!

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!!!!!

Family Homeby Katherine Thomas (Solon, OH, US)

We’ve lived in our home for 26 years and are preparing to move on. It’s the only house our children have really ever known, so we wanted to memorialize it and bring it into our new place. I took some photos while all the greenery is blooming and the sun is shining. My DaVinci did a beautiful job bringing it to life. The process of reviewing and approving the proof was easy. I’m very pleased with the final product and can’t wait to hang it up!

Pencil 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.

Memory of my grand fur babies. by Debbie Tunney (Belle Vernon, PA, US)

This is my second order to My Davinci. The first was my son’s dog. It was absolutely beautiful so that’s why I decided to get my daughter one when her two dogs passed away ten days of each other. Again I was so happy with this one. It showed their character. It is amazing how they captured this. Thank you so much for two beautiful drawings. I will be using them again.

Aerial Combatby Rusty Poulin (Macon, GA, US)

The artwork completed by my DaVinci exceeded my expectations. They were great to work with. I am very pleased with the final product and would certainly use them again.

Sistersby Joesph Kunkle (Baltimore, MD, US)

We felt the customer service was exceptional. We were very happy with our end product. It is important to take into consideration if the picture you are choosing will look like an art piece. Sometimes candids make a better result. It is also important to consider the style whether it be water color, pencil, etc. We were very impressed with this company.

Beautiful pencil drawing!by Karen Plew (Pleasant Valley, NY, US)

We are very pleased with our colored pencil drawing of our dog, Finnegan! The company was a pleasure to work with, and even accepted a modification request. Highly recommend!

Buying another one soonby Tim Boyer (Cortland, OH, US)

I was looking for a housewarming gift for a friend who just moved into a 1920s house, so of course I went to Wirecutter, which led me here. How happy am I with it? I’m ordering one for a wedding present next month for another friend, and then another for a Christmas present for yet another friend. Perfect gift.

Pencil Portraitby Marge Blatt (Lakewood, CO, US)

We were very pleased with the excellent customer service we received during the portrait process. We sent several photos and two didn't work for one reason or another. The staff we dealt with were very professional, helpful and patient as we worked together to get exactly the right portrait completed. Now we are eager to give it to family members for Christmas.

Mollyby Debra Napolitano (Middletown, NY, US)

This is a Christmas Present for my daughter. She will absolutely love this. I have had several pieces made through the years, and have been very pleased and happy with them all. Thank you!!

Great Customer Serviceby RHoag (Greenville, SC, US)

The artwork was superb and so was the customer service. I was concerned on size, and the online chat as well as the specifics that I wrote in the order were addressed. I needed this to match my other children's that had been years ago, and myDaVinci was successful. I highly recommend this site.

Baby Faceby Anna ()

I was very happy with the pencil portrait of my grandson. The whole process from beginning to end was flawless. Thank you mydavinci.com.

Outstanding!by Carmen Ramirez (Boerne, TX, US)

I sent four different photos to mydaVinci to put them all together for my final product, which is absolutely gorgeous. They understood everything I needed and wanted this watercolor to show and preserve our childhood memories.

A sketch to last foreverby John Kotek (Bartlett, IL, US)

This is my second sketch from the studio and as I expected it was excellent. They kept me informed of the progress and the line of communication was great. They followed my special request which made the gift all more wonderful. I plan to have more sketches done in the future. This sketch is now the focal point of my house. Excellent job myDaVinci!

Violet Bank Museum Watercolorby Pamela Wallace (Colonial Heights, VA, US)

Words cannot express how pleased I was with this piece. This was a gift for a parting council member and was presented to him last evening. Our Mayor and the entire City Council was exceptionally pleased with the quality of the piece. I will be using myDaVinci again for my personal items and most likely again, as well, for gifts such as this.

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.

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!

Beautiful workby Amy Armstrong (Daphne, AL, US)

I submitted a photo of a friend’s grandchild and wagon I wanted painted as a gift. It turned out beautiful! Perfect gift!

A great experience!by Leslie Webb (St. Albert, AB, CA)

Ordered this as a wedding gift and from the start the experience was great. Communication from and with myDavinci was prompt and always kept me up to date with where the product was at. The product was ordered, done, and received in a very short time period-about 2 weeks- and the couple loved it. Will definitely use this site again

Craig & Dasher Sleepingby Dwight Ammeson (Sun City, AZ, US)

We lose our baby girl, she was the best mini pin dog ever. She was such a baby wanting to held all the time, she was 13 1/2 years old. I sent a photo in and the return ink rendering was exceptional, better then I ever imagined. Craig cried when he opened his birthday gift. My Davinci out did themselves.

Perfection by Patricia Cumper (Avoca, IA, US)

I am in love! The artists did an amazing job. I am beyond pleased.
