Vertical Line: draw a vertical line right in the middle of the horizontal line. That is the center of the eye.
Circles: draw a circle that represents the iris of the eye. This circle should be as big as you want the eye to be. Draw another circle inside of the first for the pupil. 
Eye Shape: Draw the eye shape by tracing a line from the left corner of the eye, through a little of the top of the iris and to the other end.  Draw another line from the left corner under the iris and to the right corner. Double those lines with a second line nice and close
Draw the inner corner of the eye.
Shading: Add the eyes lashes and some shading to make the drawing to stand out.
