Thats a good start uve made there mate. One thing that might help u tho, seeing as u r modelling different facial expressions, u might want to give ur character eybrows too. These are probably the most expressive parts of the face. You can show a thousand more varied emotions with eybrows than u probably can with any other part of the face user added image
