Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsExcellentby MaryLynn Scott (Lees Summit, MO, US)

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsPerfect Presentby Eric L (Eagan , MN, US)

I had this drawing done for my sisters for a Christmas present. Unfortunately both of our parents had passed away very young and before their grandchildren were born so there weren't ever going to be any pictures of them all together. With the wonderful assistance of the people at myDaVinci, they created this group picture after many fine tunings from trying to combine 2 different pictures. I gave the picture to my sisters at Thanksgiving and just by the emotional reactions from them, as well as the kids, it was very apparent that they were thrilled with the drawing. Having something with our parents and the grandkids, that would never have happened, will be enjoyed for years to come. I can't recommend myDaVinci more if you are contemplating have a picture recreated. They are patient, professional and the artist is spectacular. I can't Thank them enough for bringing this idea for a present to fruition!

I surprised my wife for our first anniversary and she was literally brought to tears. The artist captured every detail impeccably with this colored pencil masterpiece. It exceeded every expectation I had. This is now the 2nd gift I’ve given my wife from MyDavinci (a watercolor of our dog). Will definitely be shopping here again.

Golf is Life II Watercolor with Custom TextHe LOVED It!by Laura M (Lewisburg, TN, US)

I bought this print for my husband for our first anniversary. We talked about it and decided for at least the first year to use the traditional anniversary gift list. I was searching around on the internet for the perfect gift. I stumbled across mydavinci.com and found the perfect gift! The golfer in the picture even looks like him! I had it personalized with a quote from Ben Hogan "The most important shot in golf is the next one." We will be using mydavinci.com for all of our picture needs.

I couldn't be more pleased with my artwork. She is beautiful and looks exactly like the photo I sent. I was able to ask for updates and change things that did not look right to me, as the process went on. Great experience!

Pop Art 4 Panels Portrait from PhotoHank's portraitby Joe Herzig (San Diego, CA, US)

The picture turned out amazing! The FedEx delivery was either stolen or lost by FedEx and myDaVinci was able to send an electronic copy so that I could print it out and still give it as a Christmas gift. I cannot thank them enough for their help and support and amazing art!

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsMore than imaginableby Mark Vaughn (Buffalo, NY, US)

The drawing was a christmas gift for our parents of their first house. They were so surprised and speechless, the emotions were flying high. They immediately hung the drawings and made sure that all visitors over the holidays were shown the gift they received. We were very satisfied with the ordering process, turn around time and authorization process and most of all the final product right down to every detail. It was more than we could ever imagine. Thanks for making our Holidays very memoriable.

Hand Drawn Pencil Portraits from Photos | Pencil Portrait Drawing | Pencil Sketch ArtistsGreat Artwork Drawing by Robert de Graaff (Noblesville, IN, US)

I had an old photo of my wife in her younger years. I was able to take a picture of it with my iPhone and submitted it for a pencil drawing. Even though it was not a professional photo, myDaVinci did a great job on a hand drawn pencil artwork. Family loved the artwork and all asked where I had it done.

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosWonderful keepsake by Staci Smallwood (Waycross, GA, US)

My mother passed away a year ago. My dad tried to live by himself, but couldn’t. We had to sell his house that he and my mom had lived in for over 60 years. I knew he was homesick, so I ordered this drawing for him for Christmas. He loved it! They did an awesome job and the commutation was excellent throughout the entire process.

1 Panel Pop Art Portraits from PhotosStellar!by Felice M. (glen cove, NY, US)

This is my 1st time working with myDaVinci and suffice it to say, it won't be the last. I'm big on customer service and they were "on it". Especially since my order was a rush during the time when most were social distancing and working from home. The photo I submitted was a little on the fuzzy side which made it difficult for the Artist but WOW! What a beautiful job! I received the portrait on time - as promised. I honestly recommend myDaVinci for the art and the service.

Hand Painted Oil Painting Portraits from Photos | Photo to Oil PaintingMy Little Boy Bradyby Steve Riggs (West Warwick, RI, US)

I can't thank you enough for the gift you gave me of Brady's portrait. It's perfect and looks just like him. It's been three months since he passed away at almost 16 years old. I had the painting for a week before I could open it because the loss is still so raw. When I did I was thrilled, and still sad, at the same time. Thank you My Davinci for creating a treasure I will cherish forever.

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosGreat drawing!by Jessica Garfin (San Diego, CA, US)

Hand-Painted Watercolor Portraits from Photos | Custom Watercolor Painting from PhotoBeautiful work, swift, and responsive!by Olivia (Westerville, OH, US)

I was very impressed with my experience with myDaVinci--the ordering process was easy and customer service and my artist immediately reached out, discussed which photo would be their best reference, and assured me they could still customize the painting to include fall foliage (the reference photo was taken in winter). The painting was done much earlier than I expected, and is even more beautiful in person. I bought this for my mom, who is planning to downsize from my childhood home, and I think she will love it!

Hand Painted Ink Rendering Portraits from PhotosOur pupsby Monica Pajewski (Wenonah, NJ, US)

Cannot believe how amazing it turned out. It exceeded my expectations and brought tears to my eyes instantly. I was happy with the preview but when it arrived (super quickly might I add!) I was so stunned to see how realistic and perfect it turned out. I cannot wait to give it to my spouse for Christmas he is going to cry- so perfect. Will be ordering more.

The 11 x 14 painting was an excellent representation of the house, based on the photo I had uploaded. I was surprised at how quickly it was completed — and yet how beautifully it was done. I’m very pleased with the resulting work and can’t wait to surprise my wife on our anniversary.

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 ArtistsTrue loveby Lynette Ollio (Renfrew, PA, US)

Hand Drawn Colored Pencil Portraits from Photos | Colored Pencil Drawings from PhotosLove this drawingby Randy (Boca Raton, FL, US)

I am so pleased with the artist's colored pencil drawing of my dog, Sonny! He or she captured Sonny completely - his eyes, his smile, coloring - basically his entire personality! My boyfriend and I are so pleased, we smile each time we look at the artwork. Thank you so much for the amazing job!
