The answer

Drawing inanimate objects is permissible. However, drawing animate beings with complete features is forbidden according to the majority of scholars. Nevertheless, it is permissible to draw animate beings for the production of purposeful animated stories, such as those that invite to Islam and noble morals. One must arm themselves with religious knowledge before responding to misconceptions and debating atheists.
