No.
You can sculpt with zbrush with an image overlaid over the sculpt, and you can try to set up your virtual camera to match the perspective of the photo, and you can do that a bunch of times with different photos to work up to a likeness, going back and forth etc. It's a long and time consuming process for people who already have a lot of skill.
But you can get good at sculpting, just be realistic. Your first sculpt is going to be ass, and everything you make will be ass for a long time. That's just art, the difficulty curve is insane.
You should learn drawing first if you can, but it's not necessary. If you don't like drawing and can't learn to enjoy it, if having to learn to draw means you won't ever sculpt, then skip it. You need to have a passion because of said difficulty curve.
>I kinda want to have a project I can work on though.
that can help, but it can also be a waste of time that impedes progress. Better to work on lots of very small projects. With a big project that is way above your skill level, you'll probably end up "mud mixing", moving things back and forth with no clarity, making marks without thought, being unable to visualise anything or make anything "feel right". You'll be starting over a bunch, or holding on tight to a small something good you made by accident without realising that the sculpt has fundamental problems you don't know how to fix, like the bridge of the nose looks good but nothing else does.
You could easily spend a few months overworking a sculpt like that, and get an alright result by the end of it. And then the next time you sculpt it'll be the same thing.
But if you practice on lots of small things, building up understanding slowly, you'll be able to make consistent good things in a few hours instead of months.
A big project can be a good motivator, but don't get too attached.
