The electrons themselves are all identical to any other electron.

Their distribution about the nucleus will be approximately spherical, with twelve electrons in s orbitals of various sizes, twenty-four in p orbitals, twenty-five in d orbitals, and fourteen in f orbitals.

As for the shapes of the individual orbitals,

s orbitals are spherical,

p orbitals have two teardrop shaped lobes pointing 180 degrees away from each other (e.g. up and down),

d orbitals have four teardrop shaped lobes pointing 90 degrees away from each other (e.g. up, down, left and right),

and f orbitals have six teardrop shaped lobes, also pointing 90 degrees from each other (e.g. up, down, left, right, forward, and back).

All these shapes overlap with each other to provide a roughly spherical electron distribution.
