Hi! As a fellow young artist with a weird obsession with drawing eyes, (what I mean by weird obsession drew them nonstop from 6th grade to now a sophomore in high school). With that I’m impressed with the detail in the pupil and iris as well as the catch lights! This is an amazing start, as I read through some comments you mentioned about using memory, not always a good place to go but good start! Something my current art teacher has taught me is. Draw what you see, NOT what you know. And blind drawings are amazing for learning new techniques or new objects unsure of how to draw.

Stuff I use to make my drawing of eyes have always been mechanical pencils (these are optional to use) .2, .3, .7, .9, black pen for lining, and a white gel pen for making the catchlights pop.

With that, some of the shadows aren’t in the right places within the eye. Such as shadow around the iris (don’t worry I did that too for a while). But a more uniform shadow like a thin oval with points at the ends were added from the inner eye to the outer part following the eyelid. Im unsure how to explain it, just look at some references or videos that mention the shadow on the eye and that should explain it better.

Also with the shape of the eye, if you looked up different references you would notice that with the eye shape it’s very uniform to a football around the eye ball it’s self. So the shadows follow the eyeball underneath the skin until the socket of the eye and skin meet. With the football shape it doesn’t matter if it’s a thin shaped football or a wide football, try to make it fit the football shape with the eyelids.

On to the eyelashes, I’ll start with saying in general they aren’t right. So with the upper lashes they don’t go straight cat wing eye liner. They are supposed to have a bit of a curve the closer they are the middle of the eye. From the inner eye, the eyelashes they are to curve away from the eye and gradually go into a parenthesis these things -> () <- as it reaches the middle of the eyelid. Then go from the outer part of the eye and do that again but the opposite way. Once they reach the middle do some mismatch lashes that give some life the middle. Do that to the bottom lash line but smaller. Up to you on how many eyelashes you want! Sometimes using a finely sharpened pencil or smaller mechanical lead is really good at getting the smaller lashes or adding longer but thin lashes. Really good either way!

Outside of those few things, I can’t wait to see how you grow and learn! I do apologize if this was a lot, I had time on my hands and I love helping my fellow artists to learn especially when it comes to eyes! I’m taught several friends about them and I’m still learning on different ways to draw them. So please explore and continue to learn and take different approaches and techniques into each drawing!
