Facial anatomy tips? Concerned about same face syndrome

Rendering is inconsistent as I’m learning what I like and what looks good to me so hopefully that doesn’t take away from or distract from what I’m asking about…

Basically, just wondering if all the faces blend together and look the same or if there’s enough diversity in features to distinguish them? I think I need a new set of eyes on them because they’re all blurring together when I look at them 🫠

I’m also trying to brush up more on my facial anatomy skills and though my art is more cartoony or stylized any and all tips or critiques on that are welcome!!!! Pointing in the direction of resources for studies is also very much appreciated ☺️

The last piece is like four months old and in more of a chibi-fied style! Some of these mix between chibis and not-so-chibi (yes, all but one of these are tieflings and no, I do not have a tiefling problem /j)

Same face syndrome? Facial anatomy tips?

I think I tagged the post properly. Despite the fact that my rendering is inconsistent (I’m still learning what I like and what looks nice…) I feel like…I’m not sure, maybe I’ve stared at my work for too long but I feel like the faces are all blending together. Do they all look the same or is there enough diversity of features to distinguish them?

This could be for the fact I do especially like some features and draw them often? Not sure. Obviously my work is stylized and more cartoony than realistic but I do want to better my understanding of facial anatomy (any direction to videos or sources of instruction for studies is greatly helpful). The more I draw the more I realize facial features and face shapes are difficult for me…

The last piece you can probably tell is a bit older and more chibi-fied than the rest, so maybe it’s hard to compare that. Or not. I’m not sure 😭 Maybe pointing out strengths and weaknesses could be helpful so I know where to focus on? Or any common themes/problems you see arising…dunno
