A few questions on getting the outer skin consistent / starting again.

This is my first run at a dorodango, really enjoying it so far.
I have a few questions -

As you can see in the first picture, the outer skin came out very patchy. How can I avoid this?

I chipped the outer shell while polishing it. Is there any way to fill that in? Or am I better off just starting again?

What is the best way to go about starting it again?

For context, here are the two videos I used as guides -

Flute players; what do you think of what this man is saying? Is he right that the flute takes "less air" than the whistle?

Big fan of this man's channel, I generally get good advice there and it's a nice place to find tunes too.

But what do you make of what he's saying in this video? Does it take less air to play the flute? I'm finding the opposite is true, I'd play the whistle all day and never feel like I'm running out of air, but I'm struggling a bit with phrasing on the flute.
