Francis Bacon painted people how he saw them (not literally) but you can see his thoughts reflected onto the art. He uses colours that could possibly reflect the person.
there seems to be a variety of paints that have been applied. This helps give the designed textures which usually look quite raw. I don't think he spent much time smoothing out the paint and instead tried to get everything in his mind onto the paper. When I see his paintings I don't feel sad or confused, more intrigued to know what was going on inside his head at the time.
Here is my own photo in the style of Francis Bacon, I created it on Photoshop using the liquify tool:
