You must override or subscribe to OnPaint event

You cannot simply draw once because if the window is redrawn the graphics will disappear https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.control.onpaint?view=windowsdesktop-8.0

yourcontrol.Paint += YourMethod; is how you subscribe to an event. The method will be called when the event has been called / invoked. The paint event will be called when the control needs a repaint, like when you resize or move the window.

YourMethod Can be
private void YourMethod(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Create a local version of the graphics object for the PictureBox.
Graphics g = e.Graphics;

// Draw a string on the PictureBox.
g.DrawString("This is a diagonal line drawn on the control",
fnt, System.Drawing.Brushes.Blue, new Point(30,30));
// Draw a line in the PictureBox.
g.DrawLine(System.Drawing.Pens.Red, pictureBox1.Left, pictureBox1.Top,
pictureBox1.Right, pictureBox1.Bottom);
}
private void YourMethod(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Create a local version of the graphics object for the PictureBox.
Graphics g = e.Graphics;

// Draw a string on the PictureBox.
g.DrawString("This is a diagonal line drawn on the control",
fnt, System.Drawing.Brushes.Blue, new Point(30,30));
// Draw a line in the PictureBox.
g.DrawLine(System.Drawing.Pens.Red, pictureBox1.Left, pictureBox1.Top,
pictureBox1.Right, pictureBox1.Bottom);
}
No matter You can do this pictureBox1.Paint += YourMethod; Which will subscribe to the paint event. And just follow the code that was posted above which is the example in Microsofts documentation.

i dont wanna seem stupid, but what is "YourMethod" here? 😭 still havent figured out how to fix this 😭

I took a look at your code further, you are doing an early return if it isn't "cube" Meaning only "cube" execute You must think logically return means it will stop execution and return a value, if the return has been hit, anything after a return will be ignored. != not equals == equals
if (comboBoxShape.SelectedItem != "Cube")
{
// Anything that isn't "Cube" will return early, meaning it will not draw anything.
return;
}
if (comboBoxShape.SelectedItem != "Cube")
{
// Anything that isn't "Cube" will return early, meaning it will not draw anything.
return;
}
