It's just something you can use to create swatches, make tests or practice some technique before applying to a drawing that you're doing. It's really useful to just have some excess paper and a little notepad, especially when swatching new products or trying something new. You can also use printer paper or any other thin sketch paper!
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!
