I found a tutorial on youtube that has you draw the face with crayon on tape and then put the tape where you want it on the Minifig and then when you remve it it stays does this work well? or do you know any other methods I can't use regular decals any help would be great

You can find multiple tutorials in the MCW Index. For instance, I think this DIY decals one might be near what you're looking for.

I have never tried the above technique for faces. I'm not sure if it would be quite as successful as it is on other bricks. I could be wrong, though. For my money, I have had success using clearwater slide decals for faces as black ink tends to show up well on yellow or fan faces.
