You need two things, paper and a pencil. There.
Now Seriously, if you're asking this questions you still didn't even started your journey into drawing.
So you still need to draw a couple thounsands of sketches... And I'm not joking.
"2000 drawing/sketches"
This is a goal, and to achieve it you need to be pragmatic. Buy 4 packs of those cheap print paper of 75gms, 500 sheets each and you have 2000 sketches to do. u$7 each pack = $28 bucks in paper.

Next, you need a reliable pencil to attack those thounsands of paper sheets, pick a sturdy mechanical pencil. Why a mechanical pencil?, because as I said you need to be pragmatic and practical. You can't afford to spent a fortune in wood pencils, and lose time with that. A good mechanical pencil will last forever, that's all you need.

That Pentel in the pic related is good, but you don't even need a costly one. The other day I'd bought a new mechanichal pencil for 2B leads. They showed me a bunch of mechpencils of all kinds, I choosed that one in the bottom, not because it was cheap, but because of the quality of the design. I could afford the costly ones, but I'm not a collector, I need a pencil to to do drawings.

If you can acheive that goal of wasting those 4 packs of 500 sheets of cheap papers doing sketches, you'll be more than ready to get SERIOUS about art. Next You will be askng in art stores for 2mm lead holders asking them to show you everything they have to pick the right one.
About mechanichal pencil design I'll talk below...
