Add too much to sketch and get a negative balance (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overdraw

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'add too much to sketch' is the first definition.
(draw too much)

'get a negative balance' is the second definition.
(go into a bank overdraft)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for overdraw that I've seen before include "Use more money than you have in the bank" , "Go into the red" , "Exaggerate" , "Stretch the truth" , "Get into the red" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
