It seems like he creates a point and then without seeing the line he is making he is able to click another point then a line appears, is created. Is this a feature in photoshop outside of the line segment tool or is this a variant of the line segment tool? I'm curious how he does this.

Yes, it's a feature in Photoshop. If you click with the brush tool at one point, then shift clock at another, it'll draw a like between them. It does attempt to interpolate between the pressure at each point if you're using a stylus though so I often end up with lines that are thin on one end and thick on the other, which can be annoying at times, although I find doing a like in one direction and then the other can result in the line going from thick to thin to thick which can add some dynamism that can be interesting.

Quick question, how were you able to quickly shade a whole face of the cube, as you did here? I just got photoshop so still learning.

Not really in a position to check the video, but if I had to fill something like that quickly, I'd use the polygonal selection tool to select the area, then fill it in.
