Is planning and drawing standing in for "draftsmanship?"

If so, I refer to that principle as "tools competence" since many animators don't draw for work these days (although I'm old enough that I will still make some sketches of poses when I'm starting a new animation)

If the rig is set up for it. I imagine that film and TV rigs usually are these days, but for video games they usually aren't. So instead you have to cheat it into your poses
