not sure if anyone here shares my exact intersection of interests (genshin and f1 racing) but xiao's silhouette is very F1 Driver Unzipped Racing Suit... so here are some thoughts:
he races for Scuderia Liyue (legacy team)
SL's team principal is Mr Zhongli
SL has been sponsored for years by the local funeral parlour and Shell
Madame Ping is the Scuderia Liyue CTO. She can design car aero in her sleep
Xiao is always screaming on team radio and Ganyu is the only person alive in teyvat who can tolerate getting screamed at for 2 hours every race weekend so she is the head race engineer
SL has not won a single championship in years. They're now being called a backmarker team because recently, when Zhongli took over as team principal, the team has been fucking up their car setup and race strategy so much it's tragicomical.
It's not all Zhongli's fault tho - Xiao is also a very immature driver. The guy will not leave space for other drivers on the track even if everyone knows you always have to leave-a da space!!!
young rookie Xiao used to proudly brag that he had the longest driver contract in the history of Scuderia Liyue (a whopping eternity amount of years!) but now he just looks depressed about it
xiao doesn't suffer from Racing Driver Bigneck because uhhh adeptus powers
Scuderia Liyue is currently searching for their second driver because Xiao accidentally killed their previous one
xiao's racing number is 4 (heh heh, death)
Scuderia Liyue thinks they're rivals with the championship-contending Inazuma Racing Team and their star driver Scaramouche, but recently they're really just rivals with the Mondstadt Team, which consistently place last.
The Mondstadt Team Principal, Venti, is a meme and can be heard saying "need to phone Jean now" in a thick german accent after every race failure
Also side note the Mondstadt drivers are "Most unsportive driver on the grid" Diluc and "Suck My Balls" Kaeya

Hi!! I love this series so much, and as someone who hasn’t really drawn since they were a kid but wants to start as a hobby, do you have any advice for sort of learning to doodle on paper and get better at it? I want to start but I don’t really know how/where
The most important step in getting better at any skill is Persistence and Consistency. Practice and keep practicing! The best way to do that is to keep it fun! Picking a project helps generate ideas (e.g. drawing Pokémon, or characters from a series you like). There are also a ton of monthly prompt lists out there!
I also highly recommend scheduling in a 'drawing/practice' time in your day. For me, I started with 30-60 min before bed (bonus: its a good 'no screentime' activity), and the habit took root there.
There are a lot of 'technical' things to study but find the fun first. At a certain point you will discover you've hit a wall, and have a specific aspect/goal you want to target (colour theory, anatomy, lighting, comic layout). Then it's time to go looking for resources.
Once you have the habit and some goals, go collect some inspiration! Find people who inspire you and study their work!
Another little 'art skill builder' I recommend is the Shrimp Method! Only if you find technical challenges like this fun though (Example of one of my studies below)
