Josef,

Very nice drawing, beautiful hair. About the eyes, in my opinion it is the subject's right eye that is the problem.

The subject is very much in a three-quarter pose yet her right eye is looking right at me. I don't think this is your intention. If her gaze is straight ahead, as her left eye looks more inclined to be, then the problem is with her right eye. In fact it appears that her right eye was drawn from a straight on pose. Cover our left side of her face with your hand and ask in which direction is she looking. Then cover the other side of her face and ask again.

This all coming from the eyes of an old Bohemian who needs his prescription updated.
