I use 'em at times on a low flow and opacity to make hazy light and/or shadows... one time I also drew some yellowed paper with a flame starting at the corner, burned the edges of the paper.... it's all in experimenting and what you like

I'm not sure about burn/dodge but I remember on a Buggs Bunny cartoon they were being Robinhood and friar Tuck and Daffy was trying to fight Porky with a stick and he was saying "Dodge...spin...perry...thrust...no wait, spin... dodge... perr...ok let's see here....dodge..." I don't know if that'll help but he was saying dodge sometimes.

TREEEEEEEEEEEE MENDOUS! Good word, tremendous. Let's say other words we like. I'll start. Reeeeee diculas! If you think about it, that word would be just as fun if it were just "diculas". And not just because it has "dic" in it either.

Try to use them on a test drawing and you will find much better what they do than a description one will give you. <:)
I think that dodge makes colours lighter and burn darker, but the results are more vivid than using the black and white watercolour tools. >:)
