Hey @Anubhav Saini, I see you got amazing help already! Steven tackled the main issue right on spot: focus on the construction, not the rendering.
As an addition, I strongly recommend you taking a look at How to Draw Eyes – Anatomy and Structure - I believe you’ll find it really helpful to get to know all the parts of the eye, their forms and how they work together. This lesson is short and dense, but make sure you get familiar with all the information in it, so feel free to take it slow. If it helps, you can take notes of your own and study the video several times (and they don’t need to be in a row - in fact, it might be helpful to allow some time between each time you watch, if possible).
Hope this helps!
Your structure is not quite there - the eyelids are thin, and the brow structure is too low. It’s a very pretty drawing, but make sure that you’re focusing on tidiness and volume over rendering.
I like to think of brows as a big curved polygon, almost like lips, just like you’ve done here. Keep it very neat and make sure it is a coherent shape in perspective. You’re also on the right tack with “clumping” groups of lashes, but vary the lengths, make them longer towards the outer corner of the eye, and use some line weight to make them thicker at the base.
When practicing, using a very rudimentary rendering style can be helpful to understand the form, while still being fast enough that you get a lot of repetition. Drawing 6 fairly clean 10 minute eyes in an hour is a lot more valuable in terms of learning structure than 1 hour long prettily rendered eye.
