I couldn't tell that it was hand drawn instead of the graphic. It looks great!

I used fluorescent posterboard for the "white" of the eyes. It is bent in concave shape to cover the interior sides of the box without seams.

For the iris/pupil, I used black foamcore and colored the iris with a fluorescent orange highlighter pencil. You could probably use Construction paper and glow-in-the-dark crayons instead. I think the drawn iris looks more realistic than the graphic, so I went with that.

I used bigger boxes for the final project. They are a bit deeper (about 5 in.), but mostly, they are wider.

I did a lot of tests with distance, iris size, etc before I secured everything.

Looks great! Did you just color in the pupil with green paint/marker?

Did you use the same box as in a previous picture? Or did you need to adjust the depth?
