How important is learning to draw?
Drawing is a necessary fundamental basis for all art forms including animation and concept design, graphic design, architecture, sculpture, industrial design, and representational painting. Animation and movie studios value artists trained in the classic tradition. Even Walt Disney encouraged his animators to regularly go out and sketch outdoors from life.
