Hey, this is my first 3D character Mode using Maya, It's for class.

I am nearing the completion of my model, but I've run into a little problem. Everytime I smooth it, these wierd black spots show up (See images below), how do I fix this?

Also, just curious, how could I cell shade this?

Well your unsmoothed pics aren't very helpful at all. Show a close up of the mouth with edged faces. You almost certainly have 1) a ton of edges converging at one vertex or 2) lots of non-quads or just both.

try softening the edges or looking for a hidden face(s) or something.

these 2 suggestions are very good. I would like to add that you may have some vertices that aren't welded and just floating infinitely close to one another.

good luck
