Drawing people is hard.
Our brains are specifically hardwired to recognize faces and the subtle differences between them, so getting things exactly right is really, really tricky. For years, I shied away from drawing people for this very reason.
But honestly all it takes is practice.
Your first attempts will be, well, bad:
They won't look how you intended:
Something that you just can't put your finger on:
And of course, getting that other eye right is just impossible:
(Unless they're the late, great, and conveniently glass-eyed Peter Falk):
But keep practicing:
And eventually you'll get better:
Much better:
