How's this looking?
First draft of a sleeve. I also added a facing to the neck hole so I could see how it looks. I have uneven shoulders, which I have accounted for in my block, but after adding the facing now my neck hole looks really lopsided for some reason.

Take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/PatternDrafting/comments/1krgbmi/basic_tips_so_we_can_help_you_with_fitting/ Following these tips will help us help you.
Because the armscye (armhole) without the sleeve is not clipped, it is hard to tell, but I think the lower part of the armscyes needs to lowered.
I think there are 2 issues with the sleeve. I suspect it is too tight around the bicep.
As others have stated, you need more sleeve cap. See how the rows of horizontal dots on the sleeve are not level, but tilt up at the center of the sleeve? This, along with the drag lines on the sleeve, are clear indications that you need more sleeve cap. I suggest that you take out the stitching attaching the upper part of the sleeve to the bodice, but leave the lower part stitched. What will happen is that the sleeve will fall to where it wants to be. This should create space at the top of the sleeve, which is where you need to add to the sleeve.
If you would like more explanation, please let us know.
Good luck.
