It was a good attempt but you're not quite there yet. Get new paper also, even just a ream of printing paper. You're still stuck in a flat 2D mindset, drawing along the side of the visible figure won't help youa s much as actually drawing around the entire 3d form. What I would suggest first is to learn basic perspective, so you understand just how and why these forms are set up in space. Personally I like the CtrlPaint tutorials, the first perspective one more than the second.

Then, check out Proko on youtube for how he simplifies all his shapes. Great channel for beginners. After you watch some of those, find the PDF (search Cgpeers) or buy Michael Hampton's Figure Drawing book. It's fucking gold for beginners and will shoot your progress forward. And at the same site find and watch Peter Han's dynamic sketching. One thing I picked up from him especially was the little warmup exercise. Basically, draw a squiggle of whatever shape, and then wrap concentric lines around it. Do a bunch of these just to get your brain shifted into gear (little red squiggle related)

This stage is absolutely crucial on everything you do from this point forward. It all rests on your ability to create in 3D.
