Visualization Through Images
Visualization through images (as opposed to words) allows people to absorb large amounts of data quickly. Sketching is an important skill for engineers and designers. A concept sketch allows you to quickly and clearly communicate design intent and details. Representing existing objects and new ideas with sketches can make the design process more effective and efficient.
