Best Brush for Rendering Eyelashes

Any suggestions as to the best brush to use for drawing these beautifully rendered eyelashes? I have experimented with all the brushes in the Sketching category and the one that fits the bill the closest is the New Vine brush at 10 pixels - flow 100 - smoothing 50 -  but it really doesn't give me what I see in this picture. Frankly, I don't see how the artist in this pencil drawing managed the eyelashes so well - he / she is a genius with a pencil. I realize that there are still other parameters that I could toy with for the New Vine brush like -

spacing

angle

blend mode

shape dynamics

scattering

transfer

stylus pressure

but with the exception of the last one (where Light is the optimal setting for the eyelash problem), I don't know how to work with these and the possible combinations are so great that I would much rather seek advice from the pros on this forum.

I would most likely use the End taper Vector brush.
