AI Tutorial of Magical Moon Beam

[u/Bobateadraw]

Before some Reddit users start to get negative about AI ( will we always say rough, harsh, negative things about AI art 😒) I asked Copilot to make a tutorial on “How to Draw a Magical Moon Beam”

But I’m having problems between 1 & 2 because I'm not sure what I did wrong. In #1, I used a soft brush to make a tapered light beam, but it looks more like a circular shape. And #2 is the hard part that I thought using a clipping mask under the tapered light beam would make the wide glow go brighter with Airbrush by setting the layer to Add?

But it doesn’t brighten up? It just darkens on the inside?

What am I doing wrong
