You can use sumo-paint, firealpaca and manga studio. Deviantart Muro is pretty cool too, though it's browser based. Illustrator is fine too, hell it even auto corrects your hand shakes thus you can draw perfectly straight lines, so does Flash. Photoshop is for more advanced tablets with pressure support and advanced designers mostly. Don't start drawing with that. Hell even a pen and paper is better.
The eye looks alright(with the exception that instead of a circle it seems square, and you have practically just drag a line here and there until you thought it looks somewhat like an eye), but when it comes to drawing it requires more then 5 minutes even if you are a pro. First you do a sketch, then you improve it gradually, leaving the final product as perfect as possible.
Just as human beings, drawings also have skeletons. "We" call these a sketch, and it helps you create shapes, humanoids and whatnot. This way your eye won't turn into a square etc. Looking up a few tutorials onYou must be registered to see links(biggest artist community since the internet), and learn straight from the pro's.
Overall I am sorry, I'm not good with explanations, I know how to draw but I started since I was very young, and although I never had the founding for a very expensive drawing tablet, I used to do it with the traditional Pen and Paper.
Actually forgot about illustrator! Its in the name, how could u have forgotten illustrator?Illustrator + Photoshop = Heaven for drawing. but there are alternatives. It's all down to personal preference tbh.
General nice eye (I can not do better xD), maybe need a little more depth, in terms of shadows etc. But for a first attempt nice!

UPDATE :
The result of about 90 minutes, a tutorial and much frustration :
It's unfinished of course, but I need a break for now
Whaoo, nicely done mate!! That actually looks real, quite impressive you can draw that actually
God, I need one of those pens, and a bucket of your talent and I'll be good to go. Such improvement in such a short amount of time, is impressive.:
Draw me like one of your Photoshop girlsUPDATE 2 :
An additional 2 hours spent on the eye :
My paint curves are not smooth and steady but I hope to get there eventually.
The "redness" in the corners need to be tweaked to be less violet and more pink.
Need eyelash reflections on the eye still.
My shadows are pants and need a LOT or work.
I sure am having fun thus far:
