Do you think drawing is essential to be a great graphic designer?

The way design is actually executed seems to be a crucial point of this discussion.
Some of the designers can draw and some can’t. People use the skills they have and you can definitely make your way as a designer without strong drawing skills. Although this, if you have those skills it can give you extra flexibility, for example matching colors, drawing a sketch when an idea comes out, developing a concept that is in your mind but not on the paper…
Drawing is important but it can’t be the only thing needed to be a great designer.
Communication and design skills are foundamental as well and creativity and imagination surely can’t miss.
