Hi! You did a very nice job. I just wanted to point out that I find it easier when I observe every single little detail on my reference. If you look closely you notice the pupil has slightly blurred edges. You can do that using smoothing/smudging tool. Also, the outline of the iris is also darker or even black. You can do that using watercolor or spray. As for the eyelashes, I wouldn't do individually defined ones. Notice how the picture's eyelashes are feathery? Draw one this line across the top of the eye and smear it upwards or make lots and lots of individual lines and try to make them a little less defined. When you look at the shape of the eye, you notice it isn't a perfect egg shape. The part closest to the nose is slightly down further than the other side and there is a dip in it. Hope it helps!
Do you have pen pressure?
