I used to draw a lot , and then I tried drawing digitally. It was so hard. I hated drawing eyes, because the second eye always looked so weird. I had this weird paint thing downloaded and it had a copy and paste thing, so I just used that when I gave up and flipped it horizontally. I uninstalled that thing though, so I don't know what it's called. But you can try drawing one line of one eye, and one line of the second eye until it matches. I just keep switching between the two eyes with each stroke, but it depends on the angle of the head I guess. Or maybe try starting with the eye you start on second, like for me, I always start with the right eye for some reason. So I started with the left eye once, and it was easier for me to get the right eye to match the left, but maybe that's just me. Not sure. Also, you can try just drawing two equal rectangles at where the eyes are supposed to be located, then slowly make the shape. If it's just because you're not used to drawing on tablets, then I'm not sure what to do. Maybe get those styluses. Like get the better kinds that aren't just a roundish rubber tip. I'm not that great of an artist, so I don't know if anything I said would have been of any help, but I hope it did. Also, hope you can improve your drawing skills.

Hello there! Being a professional freelance artist I think I might be able to hand you a few tips here and there biggrin I actually do have an art post here in the forum, so you can have a look at my drawings if you want to? And yes, I am a digital artist. I haveactually switched from traditional to digital because I find it easier.
Here´s my tip. Practice, practice, practice! I know this is one thing one hears a lot when asking "what can I do to get better". But it is the simplest, yet hardest way to get better. A good way to start drawing, and learning how to draw eyes is simply just find various reference photos, paste them into Sai and try to draw them. Study them! Look at their shapes, because eyes come in many different shapes after all. From hooded, almond, round, monolid, up turned, down turned and so on. Another good thing to do is simply just take a blank canvas in Sai and draw eyes. Loads of them. various types, realistic, semi realistic, cartoony, manga/anime, and just keep going. Draw them expressing various emotions, draw them from different perspectives and views. That is how I normally do things if I need to try and learn to draw things. The best you can do is simply just make study drawings, which is what I referred to.
Just to give an example, here´s two study drawings I made a few years back.
Hands and action lines.
Expressions, but mostly focus on eyes.
