I draw like crap with my hands too. I actually dropped out of landscape architecture in the early eighties for that reason. I went back and got my degree in the mid 90s after cad really came along.

I have to tell you that drawing in cad is no different than drawing by hand if you want your drawings to look good. No cad course is going to teach you how to do that. It really will make a difference in making your drawings look good, I hate to say. You will learn a lot and you can apply it all to cad.

You could skip it, but your drawings will probably look bland.

I always draw in cad. I don't say my drawings are great, but they are much much better because I learned the principles of hand drawing. After the course, you don't ever need to pick up a pencil again. I didn't.
