Great tutorial! Thank you! I figured out that the black in the gradient must be CMYK and set to 100% before changing to screen mode :)

Just figured it out! In the Gradient panel, click on the Black and adjust all CMYK to 100% before you change mode to screen..I know you posted this awhile ago and probable already figured it out too lol! ;)

Which version of illustrator do you use?

[@nkplus]

great !

[@MSaTTarKhan]

great

[@paphosweddingcompany]

Great tutorial. I have got stuck, I am using AI 2020. when I try to create the reflections, I create the small elipse, change it to radial black and white gradient but when I select screen transparency it changes the small elipse to completely white. Have they changed the way that transparencies work or am i doing something wrong? the black in the gradient is set to CMYK 100%

[@macristb]

I had that same problem and realized that I was working with CMYK colors, I changed it to RGB and changed the black color in the gradient to 100% CMYK and it worked like a charm.

[@KhattakComputer]

Hardworking

[@AshwinSKumar]

The selection is not coming properly.
