Johnny Depp has been seen doodling during his $50 million defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.The Hollywood legend was spotted drawing intricate pictures on Post-it notes yesterday which he proudly shared with his attorney.

It appears the star has turned back to his doodling today as officers from the LAPD give evidence to the court on Depp and Heard's last row in 2016.Today marks the tenth day of the trial in Virginia and it seems the Fantastic Beasts star has found a way to keep himself occupied, by doodling colourful designs while witnesses continued to testify.The star's attention had been directed at creating an intricate pink and purple design on a pad of paper as Los Angeles Police Department officer William Gatlin gave his video deposition of the events on the evening of 21st May 2016.While questioned by Amber's lawyer Elaine Bredehoft, the officer told how "it appeared as if [Amber] was not" a "victim of domestive violence by Mr Depp."Are you able to testify whether Amber Heard was a victim of domestic violence by Mr Depp on 21 May 2016?" Heard's lawyer Elaine Bredehoft asks."Based on our investigation it appeared as if she was not," Mr Gatlin replies.He explained that it was based on Heard "refusing to give any statement" adding that he "did not observe any visible or verifiable injuries to her".Yesterday, one moment from the ninth day of the trial ended up going viral on social media platform TikTok.Depp was seen passing a courtroom sketch to his attorney, Benjamin Chew, after doodling a design on a yellow Post-it.In the clip, Chew removed his glasses to see the sketch more clearly before the actor whispered in his ear.After assessing the picture, Depp's attorney nods at the sketch before holding.
