Good evening in Britain, Edith! How long have you been drawing portraits? Just curious.

Not bad....

I'll invite you to take a moment to check out my small demo on the eye in this same forum, by clicking this-

You need to focus on the eye's iris being rounder, the shading beneath the eyelid, and it may help to understand how light refracts and lightens the iris. The eye is without question the most important part of a portrait, and one can look past minor mistakes elsewhere...but, all artists need to really strive to nail those eyes! Best of luck to you...
