I have observed that almost without exception: those who draw the eyes first draw the eye on the right, then the eye on the left, covering the eye they just drew, leading to the "crooked eye" syndrome. In any event, this is masterfully done, and I humbly submit this critique to someone who has a great deal of talent. However, check it out. Next time you draw, see if this is your pattern. You can correct this by drawing the eyes after building the framework of the face, (eyebrows, bridge of the nose, etc.) then draw the eye on your left (if you are left handed) and the eye on the right last, checking across more frequently. I learned this from watching my uncle (Renwick Haugland, a professional artist in Seattle) draw portraits. This was his only consistent incurable problem.
