Using 'as' and 'like' followed by a noun (or a pronoun) is a preposition forming a prepositional phrase; for example:

The pancakes are as light as a feather. (the prepositional phase tells us something about the lightness of the pancakes)

She has dark eyes like ebony. (the prepositional phase tells us more about her eye color)
