An s orbital's shape is spherical, but the p orbital's shape is quite different.
They have two lobes extending out into three dimensional space. Since there are 3 p orbitals per energy level, the lobes extend out along the x-axis (px orbital), the y-axis (py orbital), and the z-axis (pz orbital).
 
The d orbital's shapes are even more complex because there are 5 orbitals in a d subshell.
Four of the five d orbitals (dxy, dxz, dyz, and dx2-y2) have four lobes extending out perpendicular to each other.
The last one, dz2, has two lobes extending out along the z-axis with a doughnut-shaped ring around the center on the x-y plane
