Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPortrait of our dogby Sue Barber (Edison, NJ, US)

This is the second black and white portrait of a pet that I had done at my DaVinci. Completely satisfied both times. They're beautiful and the artist did such a great job capturing the essence of each dog.

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

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMy first fur-grand-baby!by Dawn Kahler (Nottingham, MD, US)

FatherhoodHeartwarming gift!!by Chandra Antonatos (Aiken, SC, US)

I'm currently pregnant and although the baby is not born until this October, it was father's day and I thought it was a cute idea to get my husband the photo of the father's hands holding the baby's feet and I used the personilization to add the baby's name and left the Father message as is and it went together well. It was something so cute to give my hubby and can be put in the baby's room later as it has his full name on it with the cute baby feet in father's hands picture! I think it makes a great gift for a new father and is very heartwarming and pretty to have!

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoMy Granddaughter's Pictureby Gregory Beamer (Pomona, CA, US)

I really did some homework before picking myDaVinci, and still was not prepared for the product or the service. You can't beat this company for dedication to detail, speed and accuracy of their products. We hung it in our guest bedroom, and told each other that we knew our daughter's remarks when she saw it - we both won - "I want it!" Thanks for being true to your advertising, and you have great artists on staff!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsHands of motherly love by Paula Shaker (Naples, FL, US)

After the passing of my daughter-in-law’s mother, I wanted to give a meaningful remembrance of their love and bond. On her final night, here on earth, the holding of hands and the sharing of memories were symbolic of a lifetime of love and caring. My daughter-in-law sent me a photo of she and her mother holding hands the night before her mother passed away. . The gesture spoke volumes to me so I wanted to preserve it in a very special way. My DaVinci was able to accomplish just that. The framed pencil sketch will be a treasured piece in my daughter-in-law’s home forever. Thank you for providing that. The quality and professionalism that you have shown is excellent; I will definitely use you again and will recommend your service to all of my friends!

It is with great pleasure to offer a review on the sketching done by one of your fabulous artists! This is the second time I contacted MyDaVinci for a sketching, knowing the passion and talent your artists provide! They completely captured this “tender moment” of my friends dogs!

Thank you once again to this Artist! And my appreciation to all of you at MyDavinci that made the process effortlessly from beginning to end!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsBeautifulby Cara (Chittenango, NY, US)

I could not have asked for a better portrait. It was exactly how I envisioned it. The artist sent a sample of what they would do prior to the final product so you know exactly what you will get. We had just lost our dog of 13 years and I could not be happier with this.

Custom Royal Portrait and Masterpiece Marie Antoinette from PhotoBeats Dressing Up!by Patricia A. Spayd (Williamsburg, VA, US)

I love myDaVinci artwork. This is the second 17th Century type of painting that I've commissioned and I love it. Nothing like getting an elaborate painting and it's a great plus not having to get all dressed up for it! High quality, promptly shipping and checking to see if any changes are needed. I changed my Ali ring slightly and the modification was made. Even added my black cat!

Hand Drawn Vintage Davinci Sketch from PhotosBeautiful Workby Scott Turner (Los Alamos, NM, US)

My husband gave this family portrait to me as a gift. The sketch is beautifully done! Making special requests was a snap--removing a few items that cluttered the image and specifying eye colors. Some of the faces are more accurately portrayed than others, but they all look quite good. Turn around on the order was quick and having the opportuntiy to review the proof let us recommend changes prior to receiving the final product. I would recommend My DaVinci for the perfect personal gift--we plan on returning!

Within a short period I was sent a beautiful display that will be an amazing keepsake! So impressed!
