I dont have the artistic drawing experience to say, but Peter Han mentions in his Dynamic Sketching 2 demo on YouTube that its not like riding a bike and that youll lose the mind/muscle connection without practice. My own judgment says that may be extreme, but probably mostly true. My experience with handwriting/technical drafting tells me that the skill does fall off, but can be re-learned much quicker than the first time.
