It will also put Blender in DRAW mode with the grease pencil object selected.
Now, all you have to do is draw a shape using any of the Grease Pencil tools. Using the pen, draw a shape.

When you are done with the drawing press "K" again. This will convert the shape you have drawn to a mesh object and depending on the Boolean Operation you have chosen it will either remove ("Difference"), add ("Union") or intersect with the main object. The default is Remove ( "Difference"). In remove mode the shape you have drawn will be carved out from the main object.

Rotate the camera or switch to user perspective for a better look.

Turn off the "Guides" at the top of the menu to get rid of the wire lines. (This will snap the view to the initial angle. If you do not want the view to keep snapping back, switch to the perspective view by pressing "0".)
