It's getting there. It looks good now, but statues don't have real eyes. First, draw another path around her left eye excluding the eyelashes, and save the path (we'll use this path later). Next, create a new layer, use the clone tool and select an area of the marble as your source and clone it around the eye. You'll want to pick an area similar to one already around the eye.



To do the eye, command click the saved eye path which will make a selection. Next use the clone tool to clone an area of marble inside the selection.



Next, with the area still selected, create an adjustment layer with the Hue, Saturation, Lightness. In this case, I selected colorized, set the hue to 27, saturation to 12 and Lightness to -21.



To make the eye more three dimensional: With the eye still selected, create a new layer. Set the layer opacity to 65%. Using the gradient tool, set to black to transparent, drag the gradient tool from the top down about a third of the way. You do not want to drag it the entire length of the selection.



With eye still selected keep using the gradient tool around the eye adding more shadow to it.



To make the right eye, just duplicate the layers for the right eye, link them together, and flip them horizontally and place them over her right eye. There is some fine tuning which needs to be done to complete the eyes totally. I painted in black around parts of the eye, lowered the layer opacity and applied a gaussian blur; used the burn tool on parts of the eyes to make them different along with cloning out a small part of the left eye. You'll want to try different things to get the eye the way you want it.
