About teeth, I think that if someone had told us early on that teeth are the easiest, its the left side of the nose thats so difficult, we may now be discussing the left side of the boys' nose. My own experience is that by the time I reach the teeth, I have built up so much anxiety that I no longer see what is before me. What is before me is usually much less than my mind has preceived. I think drawing the negative space is the best advise and "can you make that kid shut his mouth" will serve you well.

The boy on the right looks just fine to me (a mere suggestion of teeth). My guess is that your concern is more about the boy on the left. Try dealing with the negative space and try to create less instead of more.

I do like what you have created overall.
