I love a good sketchbook tour as much as the next person, but I sometimes found it disheartening and confusing to watch them as a beginner. My sketchbook tour covers my learning experience from zero skill to when I reached the point I tend to think of as "Advanced Beginner". You're not going to find a lot of stunning art here, but it is a more realistic view of what a person with no innate talent and zero skills achieved in the initial stages of learning to draw.
If you're interested in what I've done as I attempt to learn to draw independently, you might enjoy my three "Starting Point" videos where I talked about how I learned some initial skills in various topic areas:

The small cheap sketchbooks I mostly used are called "Starter Sketchbooks" by Seawhite of Brighton in A5 and A6 sizes. You can get them in multipacks on Amazon, but if you're in the UK try the Seawhite factory shop (www.artesaver....) as it's almost always cheaper and has a wider range of sizes and paper options.
The large spiral bound "Junk Sketchbook" is from Arteza (arteza.co.uk/c...) and you get them in a 2-pack. However, I only bought these because I got them in a warehouse sale with a BIG discount. If you decided to start a similar sketchbook, I'd recommend whatever is cheap and has lots of pages that is available where you are, or even just using copy/printer/scrap paper.
