Sketch notes for conscript (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

draftee

'for conscript' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'sketch notes' is the wordplay.
'sketch' becomes 'draft' (draft is a kind of sketch).
'notes' becomes 'ee' (two E's - as in the musical note E).
'draft'+'ee'='DRAFTEE'

(Other definitions for draftee that I've seen before include "one brought into service" , "One forced to join" , "Rookie" , "American military conscript" , "Soldier, perhaps unwilling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
