There’s some decent sketchy / perspective books out there and some video and whatnot that have links on piniterest. Search and see what appeals to you and your needs.
I like this book:

Ultimately tho, I also prefer psd comps, so much more clear and I can use actual images of pieces I am buying. Learn how to do both design comps AND how to put a look together visual on a design board and you’ll be okay.
A good book to look into would be Rapid Viz. While having pretty sketches can be advantageous, the real point of sketches is to convey information and you don't need to be an artist to communicate effectively.

This is good advice. Before I did some career counseling to figure out what to do with my life, I didn't know industrial design was even a thing. (I figured you needed a degree in engineering to do that sort of thing, but learned that it's common for a company to employ engineers who figure out how to make the thing work as well as designers to determine how it should work and, moreover, how it should look.) Once I realized that ID was definitely what I wanted to do, I looked up programs in my city, and found a good one. It was at an art school. I decided to apply.
"Apply with a short statement and a portfolio of 10-15 images of your recent work."
Welp.
I had never even taken an art class. I had no recent work. I had no "work" at all. So I made some. It took a few months, and I had some late nights, but by the application deadline, I had 12 pieces, including a few pretty solid drawings and some screenprints that started out in Illustrator. Got in, and got my degree.
If you're looking to learn drawing skills good enough to get into school, get a good book - I recommend Sketching: drawing techniques for product designers and Rapid Viz - and practice the techniques therein. You can also find a lot of tutorials online for programs like Illustrator, Photoshop, SketchUp, and Rhino if you're interested in building those skills too (and can get your hands on the software).
If your background is in CS, you probably have a good bit of experience coming up with weird creative workarounds for tough problems. This kind of problem-solving comes in very handy in ID. I wish you the best of luck!
Rapid Viz was really helpful for me. It doesn't take as long as you might think to get better at sketching.

Start with the book Rapid Viz. It's a workbook for sketching and rapid communication of ideas. Look for books on car sketching, toy sketching, product sketching, whatever... just practice practice practice. Get a note book and fill it from cover to cover, then start on a new one. Trust me on this; good sketching skills will get you hired one day.
