The key things from the book Querkles I found is about Abstraction and Shadow.

The book has abstracted the image (people face) with circles and different sizes of circles (via computer algorithm?) and instructs user to use 5 different colours to represent the different shades of the image. As I have used in the above 1st picture is an extreme example – using standard neutral colors from light to dark. In the 2nd picture, by using green in middle of a few neutral colors, it still looks great! For the next picture, I will use 5 completely different colors: orange, light purple, light green, light blue and light brown. I will also mix the color the other way around, for instance brown is more used for the hair color, but I will use the light purple for the hair (color #1 – darkest). You will see a purple guy or lady in my next picture!

Above all, knowing some famous faces is also fun! I always need a bit of googling to find out who they are :).
