Select the larger of the two eye circles. Apply a Flat bevel, To Inside, Size, 5pix. Repeat for the opposite eye circle.

Drag the red Light Angle arrow in the center of the bevel (I have not shown the other red arrow control handles) and drag it from the 10 O'clock position down to the 6 O'clock position. Changing the light angle creates the illusion the circles are set back into the shape instead of raised.

NOTE: You can also select Light Angle from the Sliders drop down list and key in 90. Press Enter on your keyboard to apply the changes.

Select the larger of the mouth shapes and apply a Flat bevel, To Inside, Size 5pix, and Light Angle, 90.

This makes the inside of the mouth portion recede.

Select the two eyeball circles and apply a Rounded, To Inside, Size, 16pix bevel.

Apply the same to the nose but change the Size to 10pix.

TIP: You can apply a bevel to more than one selected object at the same time. Select all the objects and then apply a bevel.

Select all shapes and set the outline color to none.

(Either select None from the Line Width drop down list on the Infobar, or right click on the crosshatched box to the left of the screen palette.

Select the teeth and apply a Flat bevel, To Outside, Size, 2pix. If the teeth don't look correct, you probably applied the bevel to the Inside.

Save your image and take a short break.

NOTE: When I italicize a word such as the Line Width drop down list, this indicates the name that appears if you let your cursor rest over the drop down list or icon for a few moments.
