The present invention provides a high-strength thin steel sheet drawable and excellent in a shape fixation property and a method of producing the same. For the steel sheet, on a plane at the center of the thickness of a steel sheet, the average ratio of the X-ray strength in the orientation component group of {100} to {223} to random X-ray diffraction strength is 2 or more and the average ratio of the X-ray strength in three orientation components of {554} , {111} and {111} to random X-ray diffraction strength is 4 or less. The arithmetic average of the roughness Ra of at least one of the surfaces is 1 to 3.5 mum; the surfaces of the steel sheet are covered with a composition having a lubricating effect; and the friction coefficient of the steel sheet surfaces at 0 to 200° C. is 0.05 to 0.2. Further, the present invention also relates to a method of producing said steel sheet, characterized by: rolling a steel sheet having the chemical components specified in the present invention at a total reduction ratio of 25% or more in the temperature range of the Ar3 transformation temperature +100° C. or lower.
