I have been drawing and painting portraits for forty years and I still would not be able to magically put lighting in a face that wasn't there. I get my information from the photo that I am working from. If the photo isn't right , there's no way I could "fix" the lighting using my imagination and make it look correct. Try to take the photos yourself, using either natural light from a window or an artificial light source that mimics natural light from a window. Flash pics are going to always look like flash pics.
