CENTAUR
In Greek mythology, centaurs represent both the best and worst of humans, being half beast and half man. Infamous for being rough and rowdy, centaurs are exceptionally prone to bouts of drunkenness. However, mythology also attributes to some of them a love of knowledge, music, and medicine—a famous centaur named Chiron was a teacher to the Greek hero, Heracles. Centaurs are also superb archers. Artistically, they present a fantastic challenge in combining two of the most difficult creatures to draw—horses and humans. But with a little patience and practice, you can put the two together and have a jolly good time doing it!
