Can you be a character artist with weak drawing skills?

The reason I ask this is because I know how to use all the software and what not but my drawing skill are not that strong no matter how much I practice. Now is is possible to be a character artist without this?

Yes.  Do you wish to commit to such an endeavor?

What do you mean do I wish to commit this endeavor like its a burden? But yes I am a recent grad and looking around on what I can expand on without drawing extremely well

Ahh, if that's your follow up question.

Sculpt your way to understanding anatomy if you're not gonna also commit to figure drawing.  That's a very good standby.

You could also continue to learn your foundational art (including drawing) by continuing to suck for a while before it gets better.
