Honestly, it's fairly cheap to buy some smudge sticks, some decent rubbers and a set of graphite pencils.

That's fine I guess, but it comes to a point where you have to draw something that's believable. It doesn't have to be real, but it has to be believable -- eyes have a lot of skin folds and variations in line thickness. The ones you've draw just look like they've been painted on the face, rather than sitting in the face (eyes sit quite a fair way into the face).

But yeah, no worries, I don't mean to be harsh, just giving some advice if you want to follow it it's up to you.
Hey I went to the art shop in my college and when I asked if they had a smudge stick they looked at me funny. I'll need to go shopping for it.

I've been thinking of taking am art course or something. I'd be very scared though because I've never studied in it or anything.
