I can't draw and I'm an illustrator. Its all subjective. I suffer with an essential tremor and also I never learned to write so I have no fluidity to my hand style at all. So I have had to find ways around that. I have a deliberate, inelegant hand style and I try to exploit that and make it part of my drawing style.
There is no real reason why designers need to be able to draw. In the good old days you needed to be able to do competant doodles to denote what a picture would show in a hand drawn mock-up. But who there days ever renders a hand drawn mock up to show a client? Its all just assembled on computers so drawing for design is almost redundant unless you wish to design with a drawn aesthetic for stylistic reasons.
