Dark spots in my model?

Why does my model look like this? Even when I apply a Ai Standard surface, the dark spots appear on the render view.

Have you tried to unlock and unitize the normals? Modelling> MeshDisplay>..

@nathaly_mateopena ,

@hamsterHamster is on the right track. Change to vertex mode and select the offending vertices. Then, from the Modeling menu set, select Mesh Display>>Set to Face. This should fix your problem. Although, the vertex normals will not be averaged. If you want to average them after you have set them to faces, then select Mesh Display>>Average.
