I'm done drawing. I'm not happy with the results anymore, and I'm starting to get depressed that it's slowly regressing.
I'll upload the full pages if anyone wants me too.
For some reason, the coloring doesn't show up well. Also, the new eyes make me cringe.

You say you started like two days ago (assuming that you started close to your previous post where you say "never drawn before"). It takes longer than two days to get super good at drawing, and yet you're actually pretty good already! No need to get discouraged so quickly, i've cocked up more times than i can possibly count, so i've learned to just take these cockups and have as much fun with them as possible (or just try again later). The most important part, however, is to look at your potential mistakes and think "why is this wrong" or "how can i find out why it is wrong", not "this looks bad so i don't want to continue :c". With that said, it's important that you don't force yourself to draw, as it should be an enjoyable experience. If you don't feel for it now, then just take a break, nobody will hate you for it. If they do, then screw them, they're dicks, you're the artist.
Motivational speech aside, i quite like your style! The reason that the eyes might make you cringe is probably because you've drawn a hell of a death glare, with WIDE OPEN EYES. Eyes are actually really tricky little blighters, because they hold so much expression. If you don't mind me being frank, i think another reason for the soul-piercing stare is that the eyes don't quite match the rest of the face. The eyeballs themselves are happy and circular, whereas the rest of the face shows anger or spite. Such a face would usually come with narrowed eyes, or at least somewhat lowered eyelids, perhaps angled inwards like the eyebrows. QUICK EXAMPLE:
The shown eyes have the exact same structure, except that the rightmost pair has added eyelids (and a bit of removed outline). While i'm at it, also note that completely centered pupils give off a thousand-yard stare, so you may want to have them shifted a bit in towards each other if they're looking straight ahead. Apart from all that eyetalk, it's pretty good! Please do show more of your stuff, i'd like to see it. c:
