Great Artworkby Diane Patchoros (Murrells Inlet, SC, US)

This was a gift. The recipients of this artwork absolutely loved it. The black frame complemented the decor in their house. They are very happy with it and so am I. There should be improvement to the website. It was not very clear on how to choose a style. It should have samples of various fonts and sayings so that it would be easier to choose. Thank you very much for a beautiful piece of art.

Very happy customerby Diana Vogrin (Evansville, IN, US)

This is my 5th purchase from myDaVinci.com and we have been very happy with our sketches. While the process is strictly automated, there is a chat feature if needed and they are very accommodating with my revisions after I preview each draft. I have and will continue to recommend this site.

Baby and Mom portraitby Stacey Coyle (Leander, TX, US)

I had a drawing done of a picture my son took with his phone of his wife and new baby boy to gift him for his first Father’s Day. He took the pic on a flip phone so the quality was not great. The artwork was amazing I couldn’t have asked for a better result. It captures a moment in time that was a rare and beautiful picture

Husband's Christmas Presentby Dana Guidry (Raceland, LA, US)

My DaVinci captured my sweet little baby perfectly. She is no longer with us and I had this painted for my husband for Christmas! Thank you MY DaVinci for helping us keep her close to our hearts in our home!

Excellent gift and excellent customer serviceby Carmi (APO, AE, US)

Running out of ideas for gifts? This is a perfect gift for any occasssion. I sent this as a Christmas present for my in-laws. I ordered way too early and asked if the company could hold it until a few days before Christmas and they did! The painting turned out so well and my in-laws are ecstatic. It is truly a unique gift to give to someone who has everything else in life.

Colored pencil drawingby Nancy Seleski (Harris, MN, US)

An unbelievable colored pencil drawing of my love, Ruger. It absolutely captures the essence of him. I could not be more satisfied. Will definitely be a repeat customer. I have a similar piece of artwork for my first cocker spaniel, Pepper. This is equally, if not better, as good. Treasures for sure!

Amazing work of artby courtney mckinney (san bernardino, CA, US)

I had this painting done for my Husband on our anniversary of our one year old german shepherd. I wish i would have had a camera ready when he seen it! He was amazed that someone painted it and has more he wants done now. I even showed it to our shepherd he thought it was a real dog tell I told him it was him! Great work and thank you to the artist

Excellentby Abby Mozelak (Thomason, CT, US)

This was my 3rd purchase of dog sketches, they captured the dog’s photo to a tee, and if not you can explain the changes they need to make and then the sketch comes back and it is perfect! I think I have cried every time I have received the sketch! When my friends see the pictures they have asked who did the sketch and I go on ‘mydavinci’ rant. I love them, you WON’T be disappointed!

Reviewby David Tejtel (Katonah, NY, US)

As always, you guys did a wonderful job. But this time, you really went above and beyond on the customer service side by (i) proactively addressing a complexity introduced by a nuance in the picture I submitted, and then (ii) promptly ensuring delivery even after I failed to respond to several emails asking me to approve the order.

Astonishing by Amber Love (Myrtle Beach, SC, US)

I sent them a picture that I needed edited before it was drawn and for no extra charge they created the exact image I wanted. I couldn’t be more pleased with them that I’ve already ordered 2 more and working on another one. They’re so realistic; it’s just top quality hand drawn pencil art. I couldn’t ask for more!!!

Blown awayby Lauren Murphy (PHILADELPHIA, PA, US)

I cannot even begin to describe how pleased I am with our print! The website worked well, the artist creation and responses were very prompt, and the artist responded to the detail changes I requested perfectly. I was surprised at how well the finished product came out - the original photo was on my cell phone and a tad blurry. The artist just have firmed up the details and did some amazing work, so the final piece is perfect resolution even at a larger size. I am very satisfied with the framing (glass and white frame with mat) - it is professionally done. The package came very well padded and protected. My partner raves over it and was so happy with his gift. Thank you so much!

Perfect Giftby Ashley Zammit (Katy, TX, US)

I got this as a gift for my in-laws and they absolutely loved it! This was the house we stayed in while visiting New Orleans and it was a thank you gift for them. It will be something they can keep for ever to always remember our amazing trip!

Excellent and beautiful by nancylee prohaska (Exeter, RI, US)

This painting was a gift and my sister cried when she saw her fur babies in this absolutely gorgeous water color painting. I have used davinci several times and they never disappoint. They do amazing work and highly recommend them to anyone…. You will be happy every single time and they are decently priced and shipping is fast also. Thank you davinci!

Exactly Like the photo by Laurel York (Asheville, NC, US)

This is a beautiful pencil sketch that is exactly like the photograph. Arrived intact and ready for gifting. Was a very well received Christmas present! Would highly recommend Mydavinci to memorialize your special photograph! This is our third order with them and we have been very pleased with all of the artwork

Beautiful companion piece! by Matthew Wolfe (Richmond, KY, US)

I got this as a companion piece to a piece of art I already have. It’s great!

Love this company's work productby Melissa Crowe (Boca Raton, FL, US)

This is the 5th piece I’ve bought from myDavinci and I am always looking for more pictures to turn into art with my grand kids. They make a beautiful statement and all who see them have great things to say about them.

Joyful memory by SUZANNE LANGLOIS (St. Louis, MO, US)

The artist captured our beloved dog’s playfulness and loving spirit so beautifully. MyDavinci staff always responded to my email questions and comments very quickly, with great attention to detail. I surprised my family with this painting, hanging on the wall before they came home for the holidays. Everyone has been overjoyed with it!

Happy 100 Years!by Kay Isley (Athens, GA, US)

My daughter’s house turns 100 years old in 2024 and she’s planning a birthday party. I now have the perfect present - a beautiful watercolor! I couldn’t be happier with the painting I received. Every detail is captured. I sent two photos - one taken with Christmas wreaths on the windows and snow on the ground and the other with tree in her front yard in full Fall color. The finished product was perfect. I can’t wait to give it to her so she’ll get it at Christmas. I also ordered the digital file to use on note cards and the birthday party invites. I highly recommend mydavinci.com! I'll be ordering from them again soon.

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.

Absolutely Beautiful!!!!by April Graddick (Buford, GA, US)

The artist really captured the spirit of my sweet Maisy! She is 17 years old, but the sketch makes her look years younger ! I am very pleased with the final piece! I'm not sure how much longer we will have our sweet baby girl, but now we have a bit of her forever!!!

Always very satisfiedby Katherine Wicke (Hereford, AZ, US)

This particular caricature is the sixth one I've had made up in the last year. As I've always been.... I was very satisfied, and pleased with how it came out. The artists at My DaVinci have always worked with me and made any corrections and/or additions that I requested. These make terrific, and fun gifts that everyone I've given them to, has truly enjoyed. I'm sure I'll be having more made up in the near future.

Joplin 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.

First tryby Joshua Hofstetter (Crownsville, MD, US)

To be honest I was very worried how this would turn out... I really didn't know to expect!!! Paid the money, e-mailed back a forth a time or 2, then BOOM package in the mail and I was very happy with the results!!!! My face (the mans face) could have been slightly better but honestly this is such a bit! Made for a really awesome gift to my High School teacher!!! Thank you myDaVinci!

Amazing!!!by Julie Norstedt (New Prague, MN, US)

I had a pencil drawing done for my daughter for Christmas, by far her favorite gift. To be able to capture her and her cat with both images so spot on exceeded my expectations!! I loved that I could make adjustments once it was complete, it didn’t need much but the few things they changed made all the difference. You won’t be disappointed with this product! Thank you so much for making my daughter ( and myself) so happy!!!

Lucy's Ready for Her Walkby walt (OH, USA)

This is our fourth artwork over the years we have purchased from myDaVinci. We have been very happy with all four results. Each one was a gift to someone whose family pet was still with them or had passed. In any event, all our family members were extremely happy with the results.

Love It!!by Nikiya Smith (Newark, NJ, US)

I had been thinking of doing this for some time and then I finally got around to getting it done and I very glad I did. I absolutely love my artwork!! (I recommend electing the email preview. Of course so you can see exactly what your getting. In my case, a particular detail and the elimanation of it made me go from liking it to loving it.)

Perfect!!by Diane Zambito (Livingston, NJ, US)

I had a water color picture created of my parents' house for their 58th anniversary and it was absolutely perfect! The artists at DaVinci were so patient as I requested modifications to the original piece and they listened to every request I made and incorporated it into the piece. It is the house I grew up in so there was a huge subjective factor involved, but even so I couldn't be happier. Several years ago my oldest daughter gave a colored pencil sketch of a friend's victorian home as a thank you for offering her a place to stay in Boston one summer during an internship in the city. She was so happy with how it turned out that she then ordered a pencil sketch for my husband and I as a gift. Three pictures: colored pencil, black and white, and water colors all turned out great. Order without hesitancy!

Excellent work and great service!by Elmer Tolentino (Livermore, CA, US)

This company was very patient and professional, helping me getting the work done to my satisfaction and in a timely manner. I actually did not approve the first 3 versions of the work but it did not matter. They continued to work with me through the various interations until I was completely happy. The final work of art was done beautifully and the look on my Wife's face when she saw the portrait will forever be remembered. Thanks MyDaVinci! I am a customer for life. Jon from California

Beautiful Workby Caroline Attaway (Milledgeville, GA, US)

Good communication. I think there is a quite a time difference because it would take a while for them to reply, but I did have a few edits that needed to be made. Overall I loved the drawing and so did my mother who received it as a gift. I will definitely use them again! Thank you!

My beautiful DJby Joan Glacken (Estero, FL, US)

The color pencil drawing of my dog DJ is beautiful. It perfectly matches the photo. I was very impressed by the customer service and how quickly the staff responded to emails. It was a pleasure working with this company. I just love the print and how the artist captured my DJ.
