Use white thread to highlight the eye,
Just add a little white stitch on the inner top corner of each eye and also make a long vertical stitch on the outer corner of each eye.
Tying off your thread,
Exit the thread between the same stitches you inserted it, Tie a couple of knots, and work the ends back into the head hiding the tails and knots.
