Although painting is a favoured weathering method for most modellers, some have been known to use crayons to weather certain models.
In actual fact, the crayons used for the technique are artist's coloured pencils and not traditional crayons. They are sometimes used to introduce shading or light grime to buildings or brickwork and offer the convenience of not having to get the paints out.
Some quite compelling results have been achieved using the technique, however, the effect will not be as hardwearing as paint unless you seal it using lacquer or varnish.
