I either use a mirror or I set up my web-cam and take some pictures of me making the face I want
I should practice human faces and expressions way more. My current task for a client drives me crazy 
I often see male and female characters with neutral faces here on my TL. How do you approach expressions like crazy smiles, pokerfaces, angry faces or whatsoever?

Usually I make the face myself and then exaggerate it. I love looking at metal music videos for angry faces and crazy smiles >:D

Oh, thank you, thats some great advice!! My problem is the overall expression combined with the rendering ... looks often like a mask...

Like everyone else mirrors and photos help, but so do movie/tv stills!

Thank you!! I tried Mirrors and photos. But at the moment all I get are mask-like faces :) I really have to analyze, what causes this problem. I´m to rusty, because it´s been years ago since I drew faces a lot

Use the mixing game: draw the 6 primary eyes+mouth moods in abscissa and ordinate, then at the intersections, mix them !

hmm, on the contrary i find presenting subtle expressions more challenging. but if you are looking expressions, id suggest taking screenshots from movies and tv shows or look at pinterest for refs.

Thank you ...oh really? I personally think, neutral faces are often really symmetrical, while having crazy smiling pokerface expressions or a really angry one needs you to understand how skin, muscles and all these little wrinkles work on top of a skull... challenging
