A dip pen. You dip the nib in an inkwell to put ink on it, then you draw with the ink that's in the pen.

Usually dip pen point nibs have two tines that can be spread apart to a much greater extent than the nibs on a fountain pen. This allows you to get a wider variety of line weights compared to the pigment liners.

For cheap, good-quality ink Speedball Super Black India Ink is your best bet. However, it does come off some if you watercolor over it on a smooth bristol board, and it's not marker-safe either, but you can erase over it without picking up ink. Since you aren't required to watercolor anything for the Drawabox assignments, it's a perfect ink for the purpose. Get the 2 oz. bottle to start off with and get a 16oz or 32oz bottle if you need more. If you're going to go over the ink drawing with watercolor, marker, or other mixed media you should use Deleter Black No. 4, which is water-safe.

For nibs you can use Hunt #102 nibs which are generally lower-quality but will do the trick just fine. (You can get fewer than a dozen if you want.) Or, for higher quality you can get maru-pen or G-pen nibs from Japanese companies. Most nibs come with an anti-corrosive layer of oil and you can pass the nib through a candle frame to prep it for first use. Make sure to get a pen holder too if you don't have one, and always take the nib out and wash it after you're done. I have a small disposable cup of water that I rest my dip pen in if I need to go do something else, and I dry it on paper towel before dipping it back in the ink to make sure the ink dries out.

Fountain pen nibs generally don't allow the same variation in line weight that pointed nibs do.

Pencils: F pencils. I find these to be the best.

Pens: Nib Holder. Nibs. Any of the nibs will do depending on the lines you want to make. This next tool is a mix of o brush and a pen. A Kuretake fountain brush pen. Also there are pens called Micron Pens that are great for detailing and paneling.

Brush: I use Windsor Newton #4 brushes for everything i do. I use Wisps for a more organic crosshatching.

Markers: Prismacolor are the best, as they work like paint. After you color, you can color over to make a darker shade.

Paints: I use Windsor Newton gauche watercolor paints.

Ink: I use Dr Martins Black Star matte black ink.

Other: Liquid Frisket is used like painters tape except you can make any shape out of it. You let it dry then ink. After Inking you use a Kneaded Eraser to take it off. On the topic of erasers: I use a magic rub eraser.

Ill edit if I think of anything else.
