Drawing that iconic OU logo can be trickier than wrangling a greased watermelon at a rodeo. Fear not, aspiring Van Goghs (or should we say Van Goughs-to-be?), this guide is here to lasso your artistic ineptitude and turn you into a Sooner sketch champion.

| How To Draw Oklahoma Sooners Logo |
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies (Because Art on a Budget is the Best Art)
- A writing utensil: Pencil, pen, crayon – heck, if you're feeling fancy, grab some lipstick (just don't blame us if your grandma gives you the side-eye).
- Paper: Napkin, notebook page, the back of a grocery receipt – the possibilities are endless (as long as it's somewhat sturdy).
- A Dream (and Maybe a Ruler): A dream of future artistic glory, and maybe a ruler for those who crave a little straight-line satisfaction (we won't judge).
Pro Tip: Channel your inner Sooner spirit by using crimson and cream colored utensils. Bonus points for using a feather – you know, for that extra Sooner flair.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
Step 2: Embrace the Power of the "O"
The "O" is the foundation, the heart and soul of the Sooner logo. Think of it as the perfect onion ring – round, delicious, and a gateway to greatness. Here's how to tackle this geometric wonder:
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
- Imagine a slightly squished circle: Don't worry about perfection. Even lopsided circles have a certain rustic charm, like a barn raised with love (and maybe a few too many beers).
- Get diagonal with it! Draw two diagonal lines going outwards from near the top and bottom of your squished circle. These bad boys are the gateway to the "U."
Remember: Don't overthink it! Embrace the wobbly lines – they add character (and maybe a hint of "yeehaw").
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
Step 3: Introducing the Underdog: The "U"
The "U" might seem like the sidekick to the glorious "O," but don't underestimate its power! Here's how to make this unsung hero shine:
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.

- Think of a rectangle, but make it open at the bottom: Basically, draw a rectangle with its bottom two corners missing. Imagine it as a fancy swimming pool – perfect for cooling off after a Sooner victory.
- Nestle it inside the "O": Like a tiny bird finding its home, gently place your "U" inside the magnificent "O."
Word to the Wise: Don't cram the "U" in there. Give it some breathing room – just like you wouldn't want your boots squished in a crowded stadium.
Step 4: The Finishing Touches – Champion Worthy or "Needs Work"?
Now comes the moment of truth. Take a step back and admire your creation. Does it scream "Sooner Power"? Or is it whispering, "Maybe I should've stuck with store-bought merch"?
Don't despair, fellow artist! Here are some doctoring tips:
- Thicken those lines: Give your logo some definition. Think of it as putting on your Sunday best for the big game.
- Erase any rogue lines: We all make mistakes, but a little eraser magic can work wonders.
Remember: Art is subjective. Even a slightly lopsided Sooner logo can be a conversation starter (especially if it sparks laughter).
