Just to clarify given that some of the texture examples are outdated, should we have our texture wrapping around the form with little variation in value like in this example or have some gradation from darkness to light using implicit markmaking like in this example?
Both are acceptable for the exercise, but if you're comfortable enough with the idea of designing the shadow shapes in the process explained here, then you can certainly play around with creating some gradation where the middle of the silhouette (the surface that would be closest to the viewer and oriented most towards them) is where the surface is the most directly lit.
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
