Yes, but you should also paint too. Drawing will train well your drawing skills( Perspective,anatomy,drapery, composition, form) which are all very important to a painting but you still need to practice rendering(values, texture, color theory.) There are a lot of artists who are great at drawing but suck at rendering.
