What are some good books that talk about anime facial expression in a deeper way ? Real people expressions are the base of course. But there is more than that for example the shape of the eyes according to the personality of each character and the way of drawing the nose.
The only book that I know about this is:
How to Draw Anime & Game Characters Vol. 1 Basics for Beginners and Beyond
Even books that takes this theme in a superficial way would be OK just to check the differences between authors.

anime comes in a million different styles. some of them are extremely exaggerated with expressions, and others like the image in OP literally only move their mouths and eyebrows a tiny bit. If you have a specific style you want to emulate, then study off that manga/anime/whatever. otherwise continue with real people.

It's because the farther away eye is drawn smaller than it should be, when it should just be drawn narrower because of perspective and shit

Anime expressions have a lot of limited animation drawing memes like side mouth and un-animated chins when talking and whatnot. And they also skimp out on the construction of cheeks, smile lines, lips, etc.
Not to mention anime is full of stock expressions every weeb fag I see always copies those stock expressions, don't be one of those people.
