Greetings I'm Zaida and welcome.
And what I usually use for art is mechanical pencils, sometimes using micron pens to do the outlining or leave it as a simple sketch (usually if it's a practice or reference) as well as watercolors, oil pastels, or leave it blank although I yearn for copic pens or something at least similar, which I may get soon for my birthday.
And I'm using paint tool Sai with a Wacom pad. Still learning though.

If you want to get into digital art, there are some cheaper wacom tablets you can use alongside a free program like gimp.

If you have cash to burn you could also go for adobe photoshop which is arguably the best program to use.

If you want to go for traditional art then there are hundreds of different pencils, pastels, charcoals and brushes and different paints to try.
Traditional art comes most naturally and can be done anywhere. You would just need a scanner if you wanted to upload them to the Internet.
