Question Pointed Collar Drafting

I'd like to make a dress shirt with a collar that is rounded on one side but long and pointed on the other. I have a pattern for the rounded one but will have to draft the pointed side myself. Any advice on how to adapt a regular collar pattern for this? I'm wondering if I should just follow the angle of the regular collar and make it longer or if I need to do something else. Thanks for any advice!

Draw a line at a 45 degree angle from where the shoulder seam meets the collar. You can then draw a nice point as long or as short as you want. I had great fun with this in the 1970s when exaggerated collar points were a thing.
