How do light / sound waves translate to a 3 dimensional space?

Anytime we visualize light / sound waves they are 2 dimensional drawing, so how do they actually work in a 3 dimensional space? Are they more like ripples (like a stone thrown into a pond)?

Sound is waves of compression, so, yes.

Light spreads in rays, so actually light emissions travel in a single line at a time. Emmisive objects happen to cast light in every direction roughly equally
