Assuming your a beginner, I would recommend starting with practicing the basics/fundamentals on pencil and paper as much as possible before moving on to digital. weather its a sketchbook, a notebook, loose printer paper etc their incredibly cheap and accessible. you dont need anything to fancy at that stage but mechanical pencils don't need to be sharpened and if you can get yourself a couple dedicated erasures, could be a kneaded eraser or a big red eraser, the ones on the ends of pencils run out to quickly lol.
get yourself a ruler and the only specials item you might need that Id recommend is a circle template, its sheet of plastic with a bunch of different sized circles, its not necessary but its nice to have.
I have 3 great free resources for aspiring artists,

YOUTUBE: Has tons of video tutorials and tips online that you can follow and draw along with,.

THE INTERNET ARCHIVE: What a wonderful website, it has tons of art books that you can check out for free. libraries today are unfortunately understocked and have a limited amount of books, Id still recommend checking out your local library and checking out some physical art books if you can but if their not available the internet archive has an excellent selection of books you can learn from.
SKETCHFAB: I wish this existed when I was starting out it would have been so useful. Sketchfab has tons of 3D models that you can view and rotate 360 degrees in your browser, you don't have to download them. this is so useful for doing figure sketching and learning anatomy because you can reference the model form a bunch of different angles. there's some limitations like force perspective but its still a great resource to take advantage of. check out this model for example which is a scanned human for reference https://skfb.ly/oURxn and then theirs of course stylized models like anime and furry characters. one downside is that you cant pose the models so you need to find specific ones in a pose to reference.

those are fantastic resources I'd recommend for new asprirign artists.
