Yarp, here's an Expression Tutorial for all of you guys, I hope it helps some!---------- ✯ [ REFERENCES AND VIDEOS FOR YOU TO LOOK AT! ]
Here are some links I think that will be useful for you to use whilst learning about the world of Expressions.

^Wonderful. Will help you find what muscles help whatever expression on the face, and help you see how it moves and where wrinkles will show.

^A tutorial based mostly upon observation, go check it out!
Character Expressions Meme
^Good practice for starters, draw a character according to what emotion described.
------------------ ✯ [ VIDEOS ]
There are some notable movies and videos of people that express a variety of expression that you could find helpful.
"A Disney Sing-Along Sequel!"- Youtube Video
^ Silly faces/ exaggeration/ variety of face pulls
Ghost in the Stalls- A Youtube video
^Hand motions/ exaggeration/ Just story telling and acting out
also this is a hilarious story you should watch it
!!! SPOILER ALERTS FOR HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON !!!!
Scenes from HTTYD
^ Lots and lots of expression used, watch hand motions and observe how the faces scrunch up into expressions, all movement counts!
Pixar's UP - "Muntz is crazy"
^More serious/ concerned tone, Good to observe the moods expressed.
Geri's Game
^Wonderful facial expressions and gestures
El Dorado Scene
^Good eyebrow use and whole face scrunches, also hand motions are wonderous.

Ah, it's great that you covered animals as well as humans! Expressions are something (among MANY things) that I need to work on, and this is a great help - thank you! c:

Yes, I seldom see animals getting included with expression tutorials, and being an animal and human artist it's just bound to be there.
And oohh I'm glad you found it helpful, you're very welcome!

I think people (including me haha) don't realise that things that apply to human expressions can easily apply to animals too (face scrunching is one example), so just having that pointed out can be a major help!
