I will try to analyze my best but should I consider the form shadow as cast shadow in the exercises?

You mean to change the light intensity?

according to the texture video, I decide which shade I should choose

I think I would not differentiate between form and cast shadows, at least not for the paper texture. And yep, exactly as stated in the video you choose which parts you think are important enough to include. I don't quite understand what you mean by changing the light intensity, could you elaborate on that?

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.

These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.

Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
