It's a bit not natural. You would say "How does he look?"
"Look like" refers to physical things or physical appearance, so you need "what".
Q: What did he look like?
A: He was tall, and his red shirt made him look like an apple.
To ask a feeling, you use "how".
Q: How did he look?
A: He looked tired.

"What does he look like" is asking about his appearance, and "how does he look like" isn't something you say in English

“How does he look?” is maybe what you're referring to. The first question is asked so you can identify someone (pick him out of a crowd). The second question is usually asked as a way to judge how someone is doing (based on personal appearance).

A: What does he look like? B:He looks tired. Is this natural?

The first question ("What does he look like?") is absolute, meaning your description of the person is always correct. He is always skinny, 6 foot 2 inches, with brown hair, and a square jaw. The second question ("How does he look?") is conditional, meaning his appearance is effected by current events. Right now, he looks sharp (because he's dressed in a tuxedo for the wedding). Or maybe he does look tired (Because he hasn't slept very well, or he's sick).
So in your second question, A is absolute. So you need a description of what the person always looks like.
Sentence B is an answer about how he looks right now, so the question before would be "How does he look?"
Hope that makes sense, and I hope it helps.

I should add to wanderrin's comment, that changing the verb from "does" to "did" changes the meaning. Does is present tense, so if you ask "what does he look like?" You are talking about right now. The question implies that you don't already know what they look like.
When you change it to "what did he look like?" means that you're probably asking friend A what friend B looked like when friend A saw friend B earlier. So it's more like "what did he look like (at that point in time)?" because did is past tense.
Personally I think saying "how did he look?" Feels more natural than "what did he look like?"
