Carving out of wood?Help me?

Ok so my family is the type of family to get a large amount of money at once and blow it then have to go pawn something in order to make up for it. So I dont want to get a musical instrument because i’m afraid I’ll only get to keep it for a few months before its pawned Plus we dont really have a ton of money and its expensive. I wanna do something that I’m good at…and it cant be pawned or taken away. So I wanna know how to carve things out of wood. Like over time learn how to carve beautiful things out of wood Like a little delicate statue of a woman…Is this possible? To just sit with a block and a knive and make something beautiful without a blocky cartoon look?Also, How would I go about carving out a nose…or spheres for the head or something?Can anyone show me any techniques from a website or something?Lessons or something?

Just start practicing and you will get better and better.
