To make your drawing look 3D, use these five techniques: Diminution, Convergence, Foreshortening, Overlap, and Atmosphere.

To create the illusion of depth on a flat surface, you can use five techniques: Diminution (objects get smaller as they move away), Convergence (parallel lines meet at vanishing points), Foreshortening (objects appear shorter when one end is closer), Overlap (closer objects hide those behind them), and Atmosphere (distant objects fade due to air or haze). By applying these methods individually or in combination, you'll enhance the three-dimensionality of your drawings and make them more convincing.
