So You Think You Can Draw? Unleash Your Inner Picasso with the Oklahoma State Logo!
Calling all aspiring artists, doodlers of distinction, and fans of the Oklahoma State Cowboys (or Cowgirls, we're equal opportunity doodlers here)! Ever looked at that iconic orange and black logo and thought, "Hey, I could totally draw that!" Well, step aside Michelangelo, because we're about to break down the Oklahoma State logo into simpler shapes than a toddler's building block collection.
Gather Your Supplies, Grasshopper
Before we embark on this artistic odyssey, you'll need a few tools:
- A writing utensil: Pencil, pen, marker, a burnt stick – anything that leaves a mark (except maybe your finger paint on the living room wall...we've all been there).
- Paper: Printer paper, a napkin (hey, if Van Gogh could use a potato sack...), your grandma's tablecloth (not recommended unless you like family arguments).
- Optional, but highly suggested: An eraser. Mistakes happen, unless you're secretly Da Vinci reborn, in which case, bow down to your artistic mastery.
Deconstructing the OSU Logo: It's Easier Than You Think!
The Oklahoma State logo might look fancy, but fear not, it's made up of basic shapes a kindergartener could draw. Here's the lowdown:
- The Grand "OSU": This is the star of the show. It's a big, bold "OS" intertwined with a "U" nestled comfortably in the middle. Think of it as a typographical cuddle puddle.
- The Blocky Beauty: The "OS" is basically a giant tilted rectangle with a smaller one stacked on top at an angle. Easy, right? Now imagine a friendly "U" chilling inside, its top poking out slightly above the rectangle.
- The Border Patrol: To contain this typographical mosh pit, a thick black border encases the entire "OSU."
Pro Tip: Don't stress about perfect symmetry. Remember, a wobbly line adds character (and maybe a hint of that "artist-struggled" aesthetic).
Colour Me Orange (and Black)!
Now comes the fun part: colours! Grab your brightest orange and deepest black (or crayons if you're feeling nostalgic). Fill in the "OS" with orange, leaving the "U" and the border black.
Bonus Round: Feeling fancy? Add a little shading with a darker orange for some depth. Just don't go overboard; we're not aiming for the Sistine Chapel here.
And Voila! You've Conquered the OSU Logo!
Congratulations, my friend! You've just drawn a piece of Oklahoma State history (or at least a pretty good representation on a napkin). Now you can proudly display your masterpiece on the fridge, wear it on a t-shirt, or use it to impress your fellow Cowboys (or Cowgirls).
Remember: Art is subjective. If your grandma mistakes your logo for a lopsided sunset, just smile and say it's abstract expressionism.
