rough-drawn

Hastily penciled in

Rough-drawn describes something sketched or outlined without fine detail or polish—preliminary rather than finished.

A rough-drawn plan shows the basic shape but lacks refinement.

The term applies to drawings, diagrams, or figuratively to ideas and proposals still in early stages: a rough-drawn proposal for restructuring the department.
