overdrawing

Spending beyond funds

Overdrawing is withdrawing more money from an account than it contains, resulting in a negative balance: The bank charged me fifty dollars for overdrawing my checking account.

In art, overdrawing means drawing over an existing image, either to correct it or layer new marks on top.

Figuratively, to overdraw is to exaggerate or overstate: The author overdrew the villain's cruelty.
