Wade, from someone who is graphically challenged I think you've done an excellent job at demystifying the sketching process and encouraging folks to try sketching at the eyepiece regardless of their "talent". I'm not very proficient at doing more than a rough sketch along with including as many descriptive notes/observations as I can. However, later using photoshop I can usually produce a passable representation and record of what I saw at the eyepiece.
By the way, have you considered posting this on the Beginners Forum? I bet a lot of newbies (myself included until very recently) are not aware of this aspect of the hobby or even the sketching forum itself. And for those of us who can't afford the equipment for astrophotography, sketching is a great way to create visual recordings of your observations.
