Concepts of how to create textures and Copyright

[Napoqe]

Hello.

I'm here to ask you some associated questions on how to create textures. What are the bases and references I need to create one? I'm not good at drawing. But can I still do something relatively good? Can I create good textures based on photography of real things like walls and floors?
I've searched the internet and haven't found anything that can help me.

I'm studying Blender in a course. However I think they not will teach how to create a texture from zero. I already asked questions about creating textures above. But if I want to use one made, no copyright issues. What reliable places to get paid and free textures? Without having claims (lawsuit) and copyright issues?

What models do you plan on re-texturing? The old Warcraft 3 models or the new HD Reforged models?

I made this tutorial long ago, on how to create custom textures for Warcraft units: Creating Custom Skins

It is not directly associated with Warcraft 3 and retexturing. But how to create a complex texture (don't apply solid color or paint bucket on the surface of the 3D model). Applying these textures in simple buildings such as houses, towers and apartments.

I also want to learn how to map (understand how criteria work) the surface of 3D models for texturing in Blender. Example: Have a different texture from the roof of the remaining of the house.
