Points would only apply to construct lines, not lines which are part of a mass. Point to point sounds like he connects the dots. That is a weak way to draw. The dot needs to be in your head, not on the paper. The line needs to happen spontaneously. It comes with practice.
In pencil and charcoal, I've been forever grateful for discovering the dark accent and the powerful effect such a small effort has on the overall piece.
I find the black sliver of shadow on the cheek, under the middle finger, to be an anchor in this piece as strong as the eyes. I find that value shape to be the most important--actually, perhaps the only "value shape"--in the drawing.
