Mainly PicsArt; a great photo editing app, I highly suggest downloading it if you intend to start making graphics.
Now please keep in mind that I did end up using Phonto to add text and Pixlr for some of its filters (Antonio and Alex basically), but this tutorial will solely be based on PicsArt as I am not showing you how to use/ do those things.
