I want to go back to school, and web design is something that I'm thinking about, however, I don't draw good. Does that matter?

Just because you're not good at drawing with your hand, doesn't mean you can't be a computer graphic artist. What you need is an artistic "eye", a way of looking at things to see the line and beauty of form. Fortunately, I have that, because I'm hopeless with a pencil or paintbrush, yet I'm a graphic artist.

Yes and no. You have to have a good sense of composition to do something like web design, but you don't necessarily have to be Michelangelo. Besides, anyone can learn to draw well- talent helps, but what most people don't have is the drive to create art and work until they're good at it. The hours of effort no one sees are what really make a good artist.

I am in college now taking graphic design You will have to take drawing and figure drawing. If you are not good now that shouldn't matter, they will teach you. A good graphic designer is one who can conceptualize creatively.

In some cases yes and some no. If your designing graphics like layouts fully by hand then yes it would matter. But if your doing other things that require photos and stuff then no. All depends on what your doing.

No, you don't have to be able to draw, per se -- there's always photographs you could use, or digital clip art. A good eye for color and layout will be far more important.
