For cartoony bricks, it's reddish brownish rounded rectangles with light grey spaces between. White curves drooping over the bricks show where it's had water flowing through it, darker bricks were at hotter parts in the kiln. Stack them 2 on 1, and if you add shadows, put them just below the brick. Softly vary the color within bricks, but show stronger variations between adjacent bricks:
You can also crumble out some brick corners, or add cracks in the mortar to make it look older.
