If you're newer to drawing and art, I assume that you might be reaching for a sketchbook more often, than just buying individual sheets or pads of paper or drawing paper, which might be more expensive. This way, you can keep all your art in one place. Most important: You don't need to buy this particular sketchbook, it is just an example. Pay attention to the quality of the paper when buying a sketchbook and avoid thin paper. Otherwise, the material will transfer to the back of the paper and it will be damaged pretty easily. The size is up to you, if you're thinking to draw at home, your sketchbook can be big, but if you plan traveling with it, the size must be portable and more practical.
This is a list with all my favorite drawing supplies for beginners. If you want to get started with drawing but don't know what to buy, this list should help you decide what the most important items are.
Remember, you don't need to buy all of these supplies right away. Rather see which supplies might solve any issues you run into in your journey of learning to draw (for example, one issue may be that you are constantly smudging messy media like graphite or charcoal on your hand, and the answer to that may be to buy a big pad of wax paper to protect your paper/hand with).
Start out with the essentials and then branch out from there!
