Some of the recommendations are terrible.
>Office Printer Paper
Just get a sketchbook at your local art shop. It's cheaper and it's meant for drawing unlike printer paper.
>Electric Pencil Sharpener
The better and cheaper option would be a small metal sharpener that you use by hand.
>Huion
It's not as reliable as Wacom, but then again Wacom is expensive as fuck.
>No eraser
Sometimes the wood pencil erasers are absolute garbage. Get a reliable polyester eraser and/or a kneaded eraser.

There is no sketchbook paper that is anywhere near as cheap as printer paper. However I agree a sketchbook should be on there anyway.
>The better and cheaper option would be a small metal sharpener that you use by hand.
I don't know, I've had bad luck with them, my electric sharpener never fails.
>Huion
While I have an Intuos 5 large that I enjoy very much, I've used a Huion and they are actually quite good considering they're 1/3rd of the price.
>>No eraser
This is mostly a suggestion for a very very beginner whose work will not be worth salvaging in most cases.

OP here.
I use school-tier notebooks, palomino manual sharpener, palomino blackwing and papermate mirado classics, and I did have paint tool sai.
Anything else, besides the book and tablet?

>school-tier notebooks
Don't use lined paper fam, printer paper is cheap.
>palomino manual sharpener
Nothing wrong with that but maybe try sharpening a pencil manually with a knife or something. I just started doing that myself-it's actually pretty comfy and you can shape it to your liking (I usually leave the lead a cylinder shape and begin to draw with that, it eventually turns into a point on its own).
>palomino blackwing and papermate mirado classics
Blackwings are overpriced meme-pencils; I'd just use USA Gold or whatever low-cost brand you can find and invest in real charcoal pencils.

I will second >>1744 in that Palomino Blackwings are waste of money. Replacable eraser is just a stupid gimmick, and kneaded+poleyster combo is far superior. Any decent B pencil has better graphite than Palomino Blackwing, at least ones that are being made now.
Personally, I use lead holders, because I like to work with sharp tip and thicker graphite lets me get it sharper than normal pencils with less risk of breaking. There is also less mess made during sharpening. Staedtler makes very good leads, which cost about as much as their pencils, but last longer.
