how do I make the face better?

I’m trying for a realism style but I feel like it needs something before I move on

The overall face is pretty dark, but I’m pretty sure that’s intentional. The nose and eyes are really nice. For the teeth, don’t add too much shading between each tooth- it can give off a creepy look. Notice how in the picture, the teeth have barely any shadow between them.

Thank you, yeah my camera is pretty shitty so it looks darker then it is but I do see what your talking about with the teeth, I definitely felt like something was off

I think this is a good example off Google

The gum obviously has lots of shading cause its dark, but the teeth have very little shading (almost none) between them

Thank you, yeah that makes a lot of sense

Np, nice work!
