Hi.

Stating the obvious holes inside the black path crawled to another position.
Have no idea how could that happen, but they seem to be unnecessary to be there at all.
Same with the black sketchy outlines.
You have 28 objects to draw something that could be done with only 14 and those sketch lines made from compound paths with many separate segments -and double nodes.

Getting rid of those holes would be as easy as breaking the black path apart (Ctrl+Shift+K), and deleting unnecessary ones.
In my opinion cleaning up the other parts would be a good idea for the processing too.
