Select these two, candle shape and go to Path > Union. Use Ellipse Tool to create oval shapes and place two of them along the edges of the candle. The next step is to add even more melted wax - this time it ll be drops. Duplicate the candle shape, select melted wax shadow and go to Path > Intersection. Duplicate the original melted shape (Ctrl + D), fill it with darker color and position it under (Page Down) and slightly below the melted wax. Let s add a shadow under the melted wax to make it more visible. Lower the shape on several steps pressing Page Down key. Create a small hollow under the wick using Ellipse Tool (F5) and fill it with darker color.

There are many kinds of candles, their shapes and their colors. Select all melted wax nodes (except for the two top extreme nodes), make them smooth and adjust their position. With this setting, hand line is more curved, smooth and have a less number of nodes, so it s much easier to edit its paths.
Also, do not forget about the wick, which can also be drawn using Bezier Tool or a Pencil. Let's add this detail to our candle to make it look more realistic.take Bezier Tool (Shift + F6) and form a shape using from node to node method. As our candle burns, the wax begins to melt. Add aditional nodes to get a better result. Convert rectangle to path (Shift + Ctr l+ C), round out the bottom line and make the upper edge slightly slanted. It s much easier to draw using simple shapes than to draw from the scratch on your own. First of all we need to grab Rectangle Tool (F4) for base shape of our candle.
