Topic: Modeling Coins with Faces

Good morning everyone,

If I wanted to make some custom coins that had people's faces (people who I know) how would I go about doing that, starting with a photograph?  not, I am not very artistic, I wouldn't be able to accurately sketch someone's face from a photo...

looking for recommendations on programs techniques etc.

Thanks!

Would you say the program is worth the $60?  do you have the V4 or the V5?
