confused about texture

Hi everyone
I‘m trying to tackle the texture challenge and i feel a bit lost when I look at an image and i try to know which information on the image I should transform into a mark
Here is what I understand:
-there are two types of shadow: form shadow (the part of the form which is away from a light source) and cast shadow (cast on another form/surface)
-in drawabox, only draw form shadow if it contains texture information (no hatching), but drawing cast shadow is fine
-in drawabox, we don‘t draw textures on the whole form (like all the fur on a cat). We only draw it if its part of the shading of a form or if it impacts its silouhette.
-When drawing texture, we use both shadows (form shadow and cast shadow)
So if I understand it right, when doing the texture challenge, in the first square I only draw form shadows so that I understand the actual shape of the texture. Then, in the larger rectangle, I invent the cast shadows to make the gradations?
Is that correct?
Also, is reflection (like on metal or water) part of "texture"?
Finally, if you have any further reading recommandation to follow up on this subject in the way it is taught here I'm game
Thanks
Happy drawing to everyone!
