Planning the Sculpture Before Carving
Select a figure you wish to carve. I'm carving a ghost, skull, magic broom on crayon sticks.
I draw the shape of the sculpture on paper to plan the front, back and side views of the sculptures accordingly.

Carving the Crayons
In this step, I am going to carve the ghost figure slowly.
Usually, the crayon's tip is softer and breaks easily, so I cut it off before starting.
I'm carving it slowly and removing only small sections of crayon at once. I'm also brushing off extra particles with the help of a paintbrush.
This step is going to be lengthier.

Crayon Sculpture Is Ready!
A mini sculpture is ready!
I also made a skull carving and a "C" alphabet on the crayon.
Try making miniature carves of books, flower, candle with crayons. They are fun.
