As someone who doesn't draw, does not like drawing in any way, shape, or form, and is very serious about making OCs, I greatly disagree with the both of you. Drawing is not required at all (though I won't deny that it's certainly quite helpful), and, with the use of text documents (Google Drive, Microsoft Word, whatever), you can keep your idea(s) preserved just fine.

Though, if one wants to draw them, but aren't confident/satisfied with one's ability, one should focus on improving the skills one's bad at first, and use the OC in question as one's practice model.
