Start with a basic HB pencil. Costs under 1 dollar/euro.

If you want to add colour, get some basic coloured pencils or soft pastels. Pastels will need, in general, better paper.

Want to ink them? Go for some cheap black fine lighter pens at different widths.

This progression alone can take years and is enough to get decent at drawing, learn the fundamentals, etc. Good materials and tools are useless if you don't know how to use them properly, so don't spend too much on them too early.
