Eyelashes should be drawn more uniform and look more tapered, rather than chaotic lines. Something like this.

So just remember, make the lashes uniform and tapper. Of course, those qualities may vary from portrait to portrait but it's a good rule of thumb for eyelashes.

Well, I think your drawing with the eye lashes is good, but the lashes is a bit darker in the real pic. ^^ So just draw them darker ^^
Oh.. weeell... It doesn't take very long time for me to draw eye lashes... but that's because I draw them very close together, so they look like this: http://cellosoft.com/2draw/view/76501/ and that does not even look like real lashes... haha. :)

Hmm When you're doing eye lashes... To get the lil' thin part, would you erase the tip of it...of each one to make it really skinny and fine?O_o

and thanks for the tips you two =)

@ Kloxboy... thanks for the link to that site! It looks really useful!
@ Doop, lol, I was just about to comment and give a tip on erasing tips so it looks tapered.
For some odd reason my eyelashes sometimes look too thick, so I zoom in real big and set the eraser on a softer status and carefully erase what is too thick.

I'd do a tutorial but this is not my area of expertise. I think TheCrimsonKing would be best at explaining this visually.

Do you think I'd be bothering him if I asked him for help? =x

Joe wouldn't be bothered by something like that. He might not help you right away because he's pretty busy usually but it's certainly worth hitting him up for. If for some reason he can't, I'll do a tutorial for you.
