How do I maintain the same facial character for a certain character? Every now and then when I try to create a comic, or i should say attempt to, I end up failing because the face of a character always changes alot.
If you understand what I'm talking about and have a solution, I'd be grateful. Just don't give me this generic advice or solution of "practice and keep drawing". Thanks in advance.

You can use the jointing function to be sure that the eyes & mouth stick to the face at the same positions. (not good for 3d movements)

Just add some more statics lines in the no-face stickfigure

Except that I'm not talking about Pivot here, my mate. I'm talking about drawing in general. paper drawing to be precise. Thanks for the reply, anyway.

There really is no secret to it, if you're a good drawer you can draw the same look from every angle and maintain it thru the whole comic.

Practice and keep drawing.

Use tracing paper and trace over the face in the last picture but change the angle or whatever. Basically use it as an onionskin.
There's no real technique or anything.

I suppose I have no other way to create comics than using the computer since I can copy-paste the base figure into another frame and so on. Hm.

Try using your ruler and measuring out the exact points where certain features land if you're aiming for absolutely perfect consistency here. As Juke said it's probably best to trace. Using both tracing and then mathematical formulas and measurements to check would probably be the best way. Grids and angles can also be your friend.

You should keep a reference sheet of that characters face from many angles, so every time you make it again, you can just check that and all.
