Class 6, Step 3 - Part 2

I was very frustrated using GIMP to try and create the coin.  I think it may be more powerful if there was a lot more time to enhance fine details, but in a rush, the vector graphics in Word proved much more effective for me in replicating the original image.

I used the selection tool and added a gray fill to create the background.  I then immediately began using the pencil tool to draw the face.  This negatively impacted the end result.  I should have created a new layer for the facial details.  This would have allowed me to resize it to fit correctly at the end.

I struggled quite a bit with layering once I started adding the text.  This is where time really started to affect me.  I had to rush to complete this.
