Look at this scary creature! His name is Nessus. He is from the Disney movie Hercules, which came out in 1997. Hercules is a movie about a strong hero.

Hercules is the son of Zeus, the king of the gods. When he was a baby, a bad guy named Hades tried to hurt him. Hercules grew up to become a superhero. He had to stop Hades from taking over the world. It is a very exciting story full of adventures and battles.

Nessus is a centaur. A centaur is a creature from old Greek stories. It has the head and upper body of a man and the body of a horse. So Nessus looks like a man from the waist up — with arms, a chest, and a face. But from the waist down, he looks like a horse — with four legs, a tail, and a horse's back.

Nessus is also called the "River Guardian." That means his job is to watch over a river. He does not let people cross unless they fight him first.

Look at his face. He looks very, very scary. His face is twisted and mean. Look at his eyes. They are wide open and staring. His eyes look angry and wild. Now look at his mouth. It is open wide. Inside his mouth, you can see rows of sharp teeth. The teeth are clenched together — biting down hard. He looks like he is growling or roaring.

His whole face says: "Stay away from me! I am dangerous! Do not try to cross my river!" Now let’s follow these step-by-step instructions to learn how to draw Nessus!
