Yes, anyone can draw technically, but not everyone feels comfortable sharing those drawings. Its a matter of whether or not the person feels comfortable sharing the drawing,  or whether or not the person who is being asked to draw will accept a favour instead of payment.

I'm not saying its a bad thing to want to see a picture; it's just sort of a pet peeve of mine that people automatically expect to see a picture, and want to see it ASAP, when the person may not feel comfortable sharing a picture they've drawn or may not be able to find a person to draw said picture for them.

And before you ask, I myself have actually drawn about four of my characters, plus one of Phantoms. I just don't particularly see why a picture of the character is seen as a 'necessity'. You have a written description. Use your imagination. If it doesn't match up to the owners original imagery for them, then oh well. It's not they're going to actually know what you picture their character as unless you decide to draw fanart.
