The arm looks weird because the normals are inverted. This happens often when you mirror something by copying it and inverting its scale.

First of all, try applying the scale of the arm by selecting it and pressing CTRL+A > Scale. Do the same with the leg. This will prevent them from having negative scale on any axis.

Next, enter edit mode (TAB), select everything (A), and press SHIFT+N. This should flip the normals back.

Another tip: to make the head look smooth, select it > right cick > "Shade Smooth". Then, go to the object data tab in the properties panel (the green triangle icon), and under "Normals", check "Auto Smooth". Adjust the angle until it looks like you want.

It is possible to visualize normals in the overlay menu, this lets you see if they are pointing the correct way (outwards). Here is a tutorial on how to do that:
