Step 1: Draw two curved lines next to each other for the lion's eyes. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake. The shape of the curved lines should be similar to a half-circle. When you get the shape right, darken the lines and make them thick. Pay attention to the placement of the lines. Don't draw them too far apart.

Step 2: Under each curved line, draw a small circle for the irises. The circle on the left should be close to the right tip of the line. The circle on the right should be closer to the middle of the curved line. Add a couple of lines at the top for the cartoon lion's eyebrows.
