Draw what you want to draw. If it's that anime head, copy it.
But don't just copy the 2D lines, feel the form, try to understand why things are simplified the way they are.
Draw an anime head and change things up. What will it look like if you elongate the chin? Make it shorter? Place the eyes higher or lower, change the size? How about drawing it in rough shapes vs more details vs goofy-looking blending?
If you just draw, these are things you might just do intuitively for the heck of it and because anime faces are fun.
I personally like a silly ratio of too big hair with very low huge eyes, very short, round-ish chin and a wiide face because I think it's cute. Even the fat sticking out to the side, it just looks so goofy.
Copy different styles or whatever you like, experiment with your own ideas and draw from your head before comparing your results to your ideal and see what's different.
When I tried to draw bara faces, I did notice that I placed the eyes too low, that I made the chins too short and narrow, that I somehow made the faces too narrow in the wrong places and that a really short hairstyle revealed that I messed up the headshape.
You want to draw this kid's anime face, right?
Look at it and then sketch it without tracing it, then place it on top to look for things you've missed. Then try again. It might be slow for you or maybe you'll get the hang of the style quickly. Depends on how much and in what way you've been drawing ig. But I'm sure you'll make it work somehow.
The easiest way to improve is probably to just have someone tutor you, but with how many resources there are out there, you won't need it, especially when there are so many resources out there.
You can also get feedback here.
You could post your work and attempts. Maybe that'll make it easier to understand what you're struggling with.
I think Vlippu and Loomis are neat resources though, even if they don't go into stylistic deformity nor current manga style conventions.
