doodled
Sketched without thinking
Doodled is the past tense of doodle, meaning to draw absent-mindedly, usually while attention is elsewhere: She doodled in the margins during the meeting.
Doodles are typically simple sketches—shapes, patterns, faces—made without much thought.
The word can extend to any idle, unfocused activity: He doodled around on the guitar.
