Just start with finding a youtuber who's art videos you like
If I started from scratch now I would do that
But if you already think you might drop it, there is not much hope because art is a very hard hobby. You will need to put as much time as most people play shooter games each day to git guud

finish the notebook before watching/reading any tutorial

I don't understand why everyone online is so easily impressed by a redrawn anime screenshot.

As a low beg, I can't do that so it is impressive.

of course there always is, westerners lost the idea of what even woman is and your mind is propagated to watch homosexual porn on TV every day...

Despite the hivemind, the best place to start is just wherever you are. If you find yourself getting frustrated with the pen and notebook, like it starts to feel like they're holding you back and at that point you want to get better, then go get yourself a better pen and a sketchbook with good paper and whatever other toy peaks your interest. Good luck bro and have fun, just draw whatever you want to and worry about the fundamental/technical study stuff if/when you're actually interested.
Side note - if you get sick of buying pens and paper, you could invest in a cheap drawing tablet and have unlimited paper and ink, assuming you enjoy that experience.

Cheap ball point and printer paper is all you need
Draw what you like then do it from your imagination
