Let's say you wanted a design on your wall, or maybe a whole building. Maybe you just want to know what that couch is going to look like in your living room.
I could tell you that the wall design is going to be 6 feet by 8 feet and that the thingy is going to swing next to the other dohicky and around to the what not.
A better idea would probably be to draw a little sketch so that you can visualize the concept better.
A lot of people in this world are visual learners. They want to "see" something before they make a decision. They want to know what that color on the wall is really going to look like before making the commitment. That's where sketching and rendered drawings come in handy.
The cool thing is that you don't have to do all this by hand anymore. There is "Google SketchUp" which is a free downloadable program, "Photoshop", and for the more advanced, "3D StudioMax."
Go ahead and make that extra effort to "show" yourself, or somebody else, what the design plan is.
It's an important step to learn proportion and scale so that you can make your design the very best it can be. Plus you can avoid the added headache of making a big mistake and having to start over.
The best thing to remember if you don't think that your artistic skills are up to par is
