No eyes!
Start with your eye sockets and the shadows on your skin around them. Remember to create that value scale so you have lots of lights and darks.
When creating a crease or a wrinkle, make sure you look for shadows that are slightly lighter than the crease to "lead to" the crease.
Next, create the "fleshy" corner of your eye and your eyeball (again shadows & highlights). You can choose a new "base color" for new body parts. Your eyeball will not be white. It will most likely be gray because your eyelashes casing a shadow on to it.
...and your iris & pupil (detail, DETAIL!) If you can see detail in your iris, such as patterns or lines or shadows, add them. Also, don't forget about the highlight in your eyes. Sometimes this is referred to as a "life light," as without it, your eyes do not seem as alive.
Then you can move to your eyelashes. Don't give yourself long, pointy lashes if that's not what you see in the picture. You can decide if your eyelashes will need to be done in one shape, or if you will need multiple shapes. Your bottom lashes will most-likely be lighter than your top lashes. It's not that the individual hairs are a different color, but since bottom lashes are typically more sparse (versus the denseness of top lashes) they appear lighter in color.
Repeat with the other eye and...DONE!
