Hi and welcome to the Shipbucket.
Artistically Your drawing looks quite nice, but design-wise I'm not convinced. Underwater part of the hull looks rather deep for a ship this size and bow would be probably very, very wet (generally deck looks rather flat). Placing of rescue equipment looks IMHO bit random (especially that dinghy hanged on the hull vis. funnel). I'm also not sure if many ships had more than one Hedgehog. Is that thing between funnel and torpedo launcher some kind of crane/hoist (because if it is, then I'm not sure what it's going to hoist there) - and speaking of funnel - I'm uncertain about the machinery arrangement on this ship?
As always, when making an own design, it's good to compare the arrangement of similar ships (of similar size and purpose).

This is a really cool design, you have a lot of details, very cool. Unfortunately I'm still a beginner myself, so I don't really think I could give you any useful criticism, maybe try to shade a little darker since it's difficult to make out the shape and it would also add a little more depth I reckon. I hope to see more from you.

First of all, 3 feet more of draught is quite a lot for a ship this size.
And Buckley is also longer. (btw. note how much higher above the waterline is deck on bow)



Re: crane - ok, maybe it would, but it looks rather big.
I'd suggest moving the funnel forward.
Looong ago I made some 'generic' schemes of destroyer and frigate-sized ships as an aid for people trying to do personal designs ( viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3743 ) - and I keep promising myself to expand it...




Btw. here is a method of establish approximate "safe" locations of major parts of the ship along it's length. It looks to be a bit silly method, but IMHO fairly effective (that's how I did these generic drawings). Simply speaking, on the ships of similar configuration (and period, size, purpose etc.) major components (bridge, machinery, funnel, artillery etc.) tend to be in roughly same places length-wise (within a certain margin). So if You'll look at the drawing of a ship (several different ships of similar kind for comparison) while holding a ruler in front of them in such manner, that one end of the ship will be at 0 and another at 10 (centimeters) You'll be able to notice, that - for example - Y turrets tend to be between, say, 15 and 17 milimeter, funnel between 50 and 55 milimeter and so on. And by comparing several drawings You'll notice a pattern that can be applied for your own design.
(in case of funnel - on WW2 DE's and FF's they tend to be just forward of the middle of ship's length )
