Most people started with crayons, lined school paper, cheap pencils, ballpoint pen, the back of junk mail and misprinted pages.
Art supplies can be outrageous but you can make art with literal trash

remember to keep the pen cap when you throw away a used up pen, so you have a few spares if one bounces behind immovable furniture or if the cat or small child hides it while you're not looking

Perfect is the enemy of good. You can't backhand compliment (or insult) all the small wins and expect progress.
