Crossword Genius

Taking out illustration (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drawing

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'taking out' is the first definition.
('draw' can be a synonym of 'take out')

'illustration' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for drawing that I've seen before include "Delineating" , "Picture, diagram" , "Enticing" , "Sketching with a pencil, pen or crayon" , "Pencilled picture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
