I'm refugee now, but I'm still working on my little quest

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ7k24p8XUw

Hello, I'm refugee from Zaporizhzhia region, Ukraine. Now I live in a village in the Vinnytsia region and am developing my second big game. I want to show you all the stages of creating games on your own.

I draw a sketch in Photoshop. I want to say up front that I have never learned to draw anywhere. I realize that I have big problems with perspective, colors, and composition, but I think it's fine for the game.

Then I color it. It turns out like this. I draw everything in separate objects to make it easier to make changes.

I transfer all the drawn objects to a Spine, create bones for the animation, and lightly animate them. The result is something like this.

Final result
