I got to the point in college where I was proficient at drawing spaces, objects, and figures. These days, the only detailed drawing I do by hand is when designing logos. Everything else is loose concept sketches.
I do find that sketching with pencil and paper in the concept stage of a project frees up my mind and ideas come to me more quickly.
Doyald Young and others have said it more eloquently elsewhere, but to be able to set beautiful type, one must first be able to draw letters. It opens up new pathways of seeing and heightens one's awareness of space, balance, and form.
