Honestly, for now get your pens and pencils, start by doing exercises from lessons and don't forget about 50% rule. I' ve started about 6 months ago and I am doing fine just with those. For exercises I'm using printer paper and for my personal drawings smooth paper sketchbook (I prefer smooth papers but it is highly personal and it depends on what kind of drawings u wanna do. So that's it, don't rush and start buying unnecessary stuff and focus mainly on fundamentals and get along with handling of your pens and pencils. Peace!
