Seeing eyes a fresh

Sketching eyes has been one of the greatest challenges for me... I know what eyes look like but if I try to draw them that way... I end up destroying my sketches... i especially destroy and expression of personality... thats assuming i have seen it properly... I sort of writhdrew and just put the shadows of the eyes and pupils in as best I could guess their correct position... usually with very little detail and almost never a lower lid

Well there are lots of places on the net that can help including the link to about.com above... now here is my question to you... does anyone recognize these eyes
