What do you mean by dodge?
Do you have a cd-burning software on your system, like k3b,brasero, x-cd-roast,wodim,etc?

Burn and dodge are a bitmap editor thing like in Photoshop or the Gimp. In Gimp you can go to the Tools->Paint Tools menu and select "Dodge/Burn".

I guess that the way to mimic this in vector art would be to obscure parts of the drawing with objects of varying opacity.
