I think I'm done now!

When these boats were launched in 1910-1912 they had a top speed of 26.5 knots. which at the time considered among the fastest boats of its type.

Just two things: searchlights should be turned to the starboard and the props are not painted.

On the personal note, I'm not a fan of your hull shading style but oh, well...

Beside the two topics as WhyMe stressed out correct, then I like your drawing very much. About the hull shading I don't think it look bad, but I'm unaware if it's ok the SB-way :?:

Great to see these lesser known Norwegian ships. This is a good start.

Comments:
-The hullshading is not kosher
-Also, I don't even get the logic of it. by the way you've presented it Makes more like USS LCS type of idea of hull shape.
-The overlapsing black pixels in TT's nose kinda pokes my eyes
-Try to do the coolin vents on funnels with "three pixel" idea, rather than just one pixel. That little over-scaling will make it look more Shipbucketish
-omit the black waterline mark from the propellor stand...it isen't needed there and would make it more clearly to stood out from the hull. (You can work on with some shaddow there as well)
-The name, If the members of the class are so similar to each others, you don't need to add them in. Just Norway, Draug Class with your name.

These boats were built as a torpedo boat destroyer. The task was that to attack torpedo boats with its 6*76mm gun, and with its speed of 26.5 knots manage to keep up with them. Those torpedoes were to use against larger vessels.

it looks considerably better now. One more thing, perhaps placing the pipes so that their back line becomes same as the outerline of the funnels?
