Original image


step 1 of 10

First i selected the whole glove part of the image by making a path at its edges with the pen tool, then layered it via cut...

step 2 of 10

Now i wanted to fill in the white spaces with the same color and texture.
So i simply used my pen tool again to select other areas in the pic which i thought would blend good enough over the white and layered them via copy.
The edges from the cut outs were too hard so i turned them into layer masks, made sure that my brush pressure was very soft, and the flow was pretty low before painting over the edges...

After that i went back to the layer with the glove that was cut out of the original image shrank it, fixed the edges with another layer mask and also did a little extra masking as you should see in the following picture...

Now i hid the layer with the glove for now, wiped out the ellipse tool and held down the shift key to drag out a perfect circle of moderate size...

step 5 of 10

In this step all i did really was show the glove again and found a good way to put the two together...

Then i used the eyedropper tool to pick up the exact colors from the glove and used the brush tool to place them in believable positions...

step 7 of 10

OK now i thought the picture still needed something. So i used a picture that i had of a friend in some shades( cut out only the shades, lol). After i gave it a drop shadow for more realism by selecting the blending options on the layer...

step 8 of 10

The final step wasn't really much work at all. It was just for more realism by mimicking the same shadow effects at the bottom of the first two glove fingers.

So i just created a new layer, selected a small square area at the edge of the shades with the pen tool and filled it with a gradient of the same glove finger shadows and finished by dropping the opacity of the layer for a better looking effect...

Well that's all for now, i hope you all like and thanks for viewing and or voting :D

The pic on top is the real picture of my friend's shades and the one on the bottom is the fill that i made by killing all the highlights in a shades copy then added a gradient with the color #38291f on top...
