Therese Larsson and Silly Beast

About a year ago, when I started sending out my portfolios and applications to universities, it hit me that needed to improve my character design skills, because all of my previously drawn characters were really boring and lacked dynamic features. So I started looking into character design artists, illustrators and such. That's when I found There Larsson and her magnificent work.
Therese Larsson is a freelance Illustrator based in Stockholm, Sweden. She is also the founder of Silly beast Illustration. She is a very versatile artist, she does not only illustration, but concept art, storyboards, character design, sketch work.
What captured my attention ,though, is her characters are full of life, and most of the time caught in a very dynamic moment. She manages to captivate these astonishing moments in nature and make them as charming as possible. Also her character design is sort of Disney-like but still manages to maintain some of her personal style. Also her work demonstrated how by exaggerating one or the other feature of a character add more charm. Most of her illustrations are made on Photoshop and she actually does Photoshop tutorials online.
But overall, her work is just amazing and inspired me to make this-
And here is some of her work-
