He's sitting in one of the empty dorm rooms trying to read. Since he can be quite arrogant, he doesn't actually tell you to leave him alone, but stares you down.
Mich's season is autumn which is why I tried to use a lot of red/orange and yellow. The light is coming from one of the windows. I wanted the drawing to look warm and bright despite the fact that it's autumn.

Lebenszeit (art and story) by Lebenszeit is German and stands for "time of life".
He was nicely drawn. The anatomy is correct. The pose is perfect even it is difficult to draw. The expression of character can be seen and it sure stands out. The background is nicely drawn. If me, I’ll become lazy to draw sooooo many books not to mention to color them. The bookshelf is also neat and tidy. The perspective is also nice. You sure know how to give impact on your artworks. It took a lot of efforts to color these awesome shading. The color is detail and even the books have their own title or shading on them. And the wall is nicely colored.
Honestly, it's a very eye-catching piece. On all the good things, I definitely love the angled composition and the lighting as well as how well the character fits in with his background. Attention to detail is pretty fine and the pose is rather fitting.
However, the more I look at him alone, the more little things I see. Anatomy on his raised arm looks weird and his other arm looks like a noodle. I find it weird that he's looking at the viewer and with his arm position, it'd look a little more natural if he were leaning a little more forward or his arm were in a rested position. His neck's curve line seems to be disconnected and strange (but looking up is a really hard thing to pull off sometimes).
Nose nostrils do not seem to line up and he kind of looks uncomfortable after looking at it for a while.
However, it does not detract from your beautifully done colors and the general niceness of it all. I was throughly amused when I looked at his belt and saw the detailed little star. Most issues only lie in anatomy, honestly. Luckily, that is solved with practice.
I love the wrinkles in the clothes, they're pretty spectacular. The shading around them gives a really neat effect. I especially enjoy the angle here. The only thing I would suggest would have been to connect the elbow with the leg. It would have made the position look a bit more natural, though I love his slouched figure. * u*
