He's wearing brown shorts, so i kinda get what you mean
Yeah, right, I forgot about the shorts. But if the artist had just picked a darker brown for the shadows....

I noticed that it looks like Xiaoge's thighs are nowhere to be seen. Like his knees, shins, and feet are just standing on their own. Reason? Well, I think it's because the tree is (basically) the same color as the shadows under his skirt. Take a look for yourself and see if you can visualize what I saw:
