mind the spelling mistakes.

get your sig together like this, i brushed in the back ground and dupliacted iot and gave the first one a lns flare near the hand and a big gluassen blur and set the top layer to soft light. while the stock picture is set to soft light, i didn't do any cutting or erasing. just set it to soft light.

click the pen tool and these are the settings i use. if you want some good curve from the pen tool, don't use the free form type.

the brush i use when i use the pen tool is just the basic circle brush because it's simple and if you use a differanjt brush it might now look like what your hoping for. so use one of these brushes

make a new layer and click anchor points around the arm like this once you get that done, right the image and then click stroke path.

now stay on your pen tool layer. use the laso tool and cut to make it look like it's around the arm
