I did a bit on same-face syndrome some time back, that might be interesting to you. Half the battle of character variation is being aware that there is different shapes to be found, and then being brave enough to just go out there and draw those different shapes. There’s not much of a great science to it once you get used to working with these specific features ( or with character variation in general ) since you will, over time, build up a mental vault of shapes and sizes that you can combine into an unlimited number of designs. .

Bias of appeal
If you have an easier time drawing guys varied. It might be that you have a strong preference or bias towards how female characters should look to seem appealing. Something worth deconstructing through simply drawing female characters that look different from your own, and readjusting that bias through continous experimentation. ( this goes both ways, if you have one way of drawing guys but multiple ways for girls, you may have a bias ).
Siblings
Distinguishing siblings from one another while still making them look related can be a bit tricky. I personally recommend just picking a few very visible traits that they share between them. But then ensuring that the rest of the traits are very distinguished and different, to avoid them looking too identical.
Body types
Same goes for different body-types. Just draw them. You don’t have to get it looking consistent or “nice” the first couple of times, you just need to get used to drawing those specific shapes.
