The transition of lights and darks on your paper produces an illusion of three dimensions.

The The art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth and position in relation to each other when veiwed from a particular point can be daunting. Using the two-point perspective where the object closest to you is on an angle, can give the illusion of depth.The perspective will have two vanishing points on the horizon line and the convergence(A point where lines come together from different directions) of the parallel lines will go to either point.

One Point Perspective - The perspective with one vanishing point. As you can see I was sitting above and my horizon level was higher than that of the camera shot.
