Did you add your DrawableComponent to your game's component list
Personally, I just make a public property in my game class (public GraphicsDevice GraphicsDevice{get{return graphics.GraphicsDevice;}}), which all my components have references to. Then, I just use game.GraphicsDevice to access the device.

get
{
IGraphicsDeviceService graphicsservice = (IGraphicsDeviceService)Game.Services.GetService(typeof(IGraphicsDeviceService));
return graphicsservice.GraphicsDevice;
}
}
Would prefer to use base property but ...
