Good drawing for your age - here are some pointers for you:
The eyeball is actually shaped like a ball halfway into the skull and bulging outward. Draw the eyeball completely round, then add the eyelids on top of the ball - you'll get the shape perfect.
Look in the mirror at your own eye - the eyelashes don't start so close to the inside, and they are longer and more curved.
Don't be afraid to make some really dark black lines with your pencil, especially in the shadow areas and the pupil in the centre. You may need to buy a softer pencil - 4B or 6B - to get the darkest shadow.
Finally, there will be a bright curved reflection on the surface of the eye - this will make it look shiny and realistic.
Keep drawing and have fun!

I think this is a good start. I would add more shading to give it some more depth, with just the line work it looks a bit flat. Don't be afraid to add darks.
I do suggest observing your own eye or cracking open some books/magazines to see how eyes really look. Right now it looks like the symbol for an eye, but that is not how eyes really look. There are a lot of details that are missing and if you add them in they will make this drawing really pop.
Good work so far, keep going with this.

I think its a great picture. I can tell you are really trying to capture the details with how you included the fibers in the eye and wrinkles of the skin. If I may give you a pointer though, you should shade things in a bit more. Especially if your doing large size close up pictures. The shading makes it seem like your adding more detail when really your using up the excess space in a picture. But I think your on a great track. Keep drawing and remember to experiment.

Thats a pretty good drawing. Better than I could do, and I'm in 8th grade also
You might want to try to enter it in some type of0art show to actually see if it is something good by the proffessionals
