Sure, it is cheaper than paper art. Firstly, if you're set on digital, I recommend Huion as a good, reasonably priced brand for digital tablets. Check out the reviews on youtube. Wacom continue to charge boutique prices for their products after over a decade and I think these are unacceptable for new starters and overpriced compared to competitors. I bought an H610 on sale many years ago and I would vouch for the brand. You won't be missing out on things like sensitivity levels. I think that a good normal-sized Huion tablet is priced such that you won't feel bad if you decide not to pursue the hobby, which is important, I think. Next you need some software. A lot of people swore by Paint Tool Sai in my day but I think this comes down to your budget and preference. Maybe watch some reviews to get a feel for what is possible. I would recommend checking for free resources and guidance available for learning to draw on reddit or similar, next. I'm certain they have lists of handy courses and books to consider.
