"Am I done yet" is a question of nuance really when it comes to drawing/painting ... tuning into the perfect pitch, perhaps. The answer often is one of knowing it when one sees it.
Cezanne is quoted as saying (paraphrasing) that every mark should finish a painting. I think about this when I am placing marks but I err sometimes. Working in ink, I have to live with the marks I make in error -- make them work. I find drawings go through stages and reach completion more than once.
