I worked on the sketch, trying to get an idea of how I wanted it to look.
Then I realized I didn't have enough time to do all I wanted with the picture, so I cut out the part with these cuties (Berri's OC'S, Kyle and Andi) drinking a milkshake together;

Rip.
Anyways, then I spent a while trying to perfect the line art, which is torture when you're a noob like myself.
After I finally got that done, I colored it. But FireAlpaca (the painting program I use) wouldn't respond and I had, to close it, and when I reopened it I was horrified to find that all the coloring I had done was gone. I got frustrated and recolored it sloppily, leaving a lot outside the lines. The I did the shading, when FA glitched again and I couldn't save it, so I had to redo most of the shading as well.
When I finally had that done, I set to work erasing all the sloppy coloring marks. I thought I would have saved, but NOPE. I had to redo a lot of the cleaning up again.
Then, after I had the characters finished and colored, I decided to do a background. I made three large squiggly lines in the back, then the program crashed and I lost ALL THE CLEANING UP AGAIN.
Then I started saving it as often as I could, although the program wouldn't respond much. So, after finishing again, I saved the price one last time as an MDP (just a type of file). Since my phone doesn't support MDP files, I have to save my art as a PNG before uploading it to Google Drive so I can access it on my phone and post it.
Guess what?
The program REFUSED to save as a PNG, or even a JPEG, so I frantically Googled the problems with FA.
Eventually, after several unsuccessful attempts to save it, I completed my quest by downloading MediBang Paint Pro (a whole new program), uploading the MDP file to it, almost having a heart attack when MediBang didn't respond for a few minutes, and finally getting it to save as a PNG.
*Rips out hair*
And then I had to draw this lame background on my phone because I didn't wanna risk losing the file again on my computer.

Oh well. I guess I shouldn't complain too much, at least I got it done eventually.
