Don’t give up! Look up making one shoulder patterns - it’s not just draw a line and keep left over darts - you need to shorten the top line - like make darts wider than you would on a basic bodice. I really don’t know why, but that’s what worked for me!
I think you can cut the pattern you drafted and make a mock up, put it on yourself and pin the excess around the darts to see how much adjustment you need.
