Eyes critique

Ignore the rest of the face this is just for the eyes please. It looks so wrong.
I'm thinking the right eye is too high?
The tone of the colour are too light? Maybe I can should have went darker on the darks. It was a very light picture in that sense.
I also think I went to Sharp with the creases to shape the eye.
Thanks
P.S. it looks like a human woman so that'd a start 😂
It helps to construct the eyes as balls, mounted into the head. This helps you to get her left eye right...

There are a few issues with your eyes, but the most important is that they look like stickers of eyes on a flat surface. The eye is a round ball shape, which influences the surface of the face. We need to make sure we give them dimension either with line or shading.
I did a quick and rough sketch to show you what I'm talking about, I hope it helps :)

This is perfectly what I needed to know. So why does mine look so flat when I've shaded what was on the reference? Your absolutely right mine does just look like a sticker. Is it because effectively its just lines? I'm looking from mine to yours and yours has a lot more more depth. So I need to bring out that depth that yours has.

Human woman? Check! @stevenmc
Honestly, I think you have a good grasp of facial features, especially the eyes, though you are right they are slightly off. With more consistent shading and detail throughout the face...this is on it's way to being pretty great! Remember, every drawing is a learning opportunity, and continuous practice will only refine skills further.

Yeah. If I was to draw previously who knows what it would have looked like haha.
Thank you for that. I got work to do and practice. BTW I didn't do the other features I just plotted them with loomis for practice.
