Hi Amita, I've studied fashion design, graphic design and web design. I do all 3 at the same time but Graphics mostly. Photography is mostly a hobby except if I'm taking a pack shot. But I have started to get in wedding photography as well cause the money is there. Learning to hand draw to draw logo's is a bit of an mission. Most logo's especially corporate types would have to be in a pantone colour and you would have to submit chromolins as well as single colour variations. Much easier with CorelDraw, Illustrator and maybe Freehand, but I wouldn't advise the last one. Doing this by hand is almost impossible. Free hand drawings nowadays are mostly required by fashion illustration, advertising or product illustration. Mostly done with a tablet and a pc/Mac.
All what I've learnt from studying the other is cross applied to photography. Things like composition and sense of colour balance remain consistent throughout the various fields and I don't think I could seperate the various techiques into definite little boxes. It will affect your photography, but then again what you've learnt from photography will affect your drawing as well.
