I would definitely not use effect filters, especially if it is going to be extremely apparent that you are just applying filters to it. The key is to make the effect subtle.
Let's get into the anatomical problems here. The eyes indicate that you intended the head to be viewed from slightly below, and essentially the head is tilted away from us. However, the ear on the right is somehow higher than the one in the foreground, meaning that if viewed from the front, they are wildly misplaced. The nose and the mouth are instead tilted towards the viewer, on a face that is tilted away. The planes don't match up in any way. I suggest that you look at constructive anatomy, understanding the way the forms work in perspective.
