I for one can't draw a straight line to save my soul but I can do scrim, pointillist technique because it doesn't require the ability to draw lines.

I found the book on the technical pen very helpful because it does not stress drawing a figure rather building a figure from a number of smaller elements. From the reading I have done on engraving the same process seems to apply, smaller elements strung together to yield a finished product.
