Will building muscle affect drawing skill?

Like the title says, I love drawing but lately I feel weaker than I used to be. I used to train a little bit of weightlifting but have been stopped doing that for quite some time since I'm afraid building muscle will make my hand, arm, and finger stiff.

So the question is: if I build muscle, will it affect my drawing skill?

No, musical instruments playing or drawing skills should not be affected by muscle building or weight lifting. At least there are no such case or known evidences for that.

not necessarily, while you are weight lifting and muscle building, keep on drawing during the process just so you can gradually get used to a heavier arm etc.

I don't think it should affect it...
