I was way too ambitious with this one. It took me three days to finish when this is supposed to be a daily challenge, but apparently I am unable to make a simplified drawing sometimes…

Drawn using mechanical pencils with 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm HB leads. For the black of space I selected those regions in photoshop and inverted the colors (plus some color correction so the blue hue of the rest of the image would be preserved there).
