Canonically, a Ditto can copy the face perfectly if it can see what it's copying. If what it's copying isn't in the room, it tends to get some attributes wrong, including the face. IIRC in recent generations of Ditto, they've been always depicting Ditto's transforms with a ditto face because of its popularity or something.

I thought it was just an anime thing. You know, because Nintendo insist on ignoring that most of their fans are adults, so they make the ditto face so that supposed children have an easy time noticing/remembering that it's a transformed ditto. On the other hand, I guess it could be interpreted that the difference isn't that big but in the drawing it's represented like that to make more evident what would be the sensation of a deformed face for the other characters (like eyes that are too far apart, or too small) and as what is usually done in cartoons when a character draws something is usually a drawing of lower quality than the drawing of the animated series itself, to mark the difference between "levels or layers of reality". The ditto face is more funny and less compromising. But I bet it's just a kid thing, because in video games the imitation is perfect. Although it is also true that doing the imperfections thing in the video game would be much more laborious and expensive to represent since it would be necessary to create variations in the art/sprites of all the pokemons... and originally they could barely put 150 pokemons in a cartridge, so there would be technical limitations behind the ditto's ability to perfectly imitate them. The same reason why they make the simplification that there are no hybridizations but that any mix is born from the same species as the female.
