First try here in SB, a small coastal corvette.

This is a fantastic first drawing. You have a properly sized combat suite, which can be rare in a first drawing. I look forward to seeing more.

Frankly, it could be a drawing of a real ship. I appreciate the attention to detail in the drop-down netting around the (presumably) 40mm, including mundane components like navigation lights and ESM omnis, shading on the 76mm, and the very nice SVTT (I assume this is a new parts sheet part I hadn't seen yet).

A few areas for improvement:
  • Hull shading would be nice to see.
  • The Exocet launchers have some JPEG artifacts around them.
  • Consider doing a top view "cartoon" for your own purposes to consider whether everything will fit. As drawn, your deckhouse would need to be very narrow (or the ship quite beamy) to fit a RHIB on the main deck and still provide sufficient clearance inboard to move forward and aft. 12'/3.5m might be a reasonable minimum on either side of the deckhouse, if the ship is symmetrical. Probably you make the superstructure "wasp-waisted", so that it might be wider forward and aft of the boat.
  • Probably you would not have fixed railings outboard of the liferaft container.
  • The 20mm gun is an old part, and we have better renderings now (I think).
  • The mooring chocks and bitts don't make a ton of sense. What is necessary for a ship of any specific size is outside my body of knowledge, but at the very very least you need a chock and bitt each forward and aft. This PDF has all you could ever want to know about mooring, I suspect.
I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Welcome aboard, this is an impressive entrance.

The only styling nitpick is the lack of shading underneath the bridge wing and deck extension around the twin 40mm mount.

Looks great! The sensible equipment fit is very impressive. My suggestions are to use a newer anti-fouling color on the hull, add more hull shading, and reverse the shading on the 40mm mount (currently the dark backside is facing the light source).

Thanks for all the advised that would help me to refine my skills in drawing here in SB.
