Description
Yarp, here's an Expression Tutorial for all of you guys, I hope it helps some!---------- β― [ 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.
Credit goes to ~rubymight for finding this magnificent thing
Der-Shing Helmer's Expression Tutorial
^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.
------------------ β― [ 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.
