Tombow Dual Brush is great ‘large brush’ for beginners. I would say first do lots of practice with small brush pens and then move to ink and nibs. Tombow Fudenosuke ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M71S9DU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2pv3AbQ543M8T ) or Pentel Sign Pen ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EN0HCH6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_qGOz3EhHHfH49 ) are great small pen options. And when you feel ready for upgrade, hunt 513 nib and sumi black ink would be great.

Hope this will be helpful!
I just took a 6 week lettering course, so here are some ideas I have coming out of that.
I bought This one on Amazon for a scrapbook type gift that I made for my boyfriend. It's beautiful and great quality for the price. It's great because you can buy more page inserts for it as you fill it up!
I second Tombow Dual Brush pens, but there is a learning curve. You have to hold the pens at an angle to avoid fraying. Also, certain papers can cause them to fray as well, so you want really smooth paper (such as Rhodia, found on amazon)
To get a good feel for thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes though, I always recommend the Tombow Fudenosuke brush pens. They're much smaller and easier to learn on in my opinion.
Then I moved on to Tombows and Artline Stix Brush Pens.
Not a leftie but I loved these when I started out!
Tombow is my personal favorite!
Or
Prismacolor is a great choice as well
I use a clear acrylic triangle that has a grid on it, something like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004MGLQWY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_ajVDzbRJKP5AZ
You can probably also find something like that at a arts/craft store or maybe at some office supplies store.
Honestly, if you're looking for a cheaper option, I use the Huion 680s and I've never had any qualms with it.
The one I have is wired (not wireless), but I don't mind. The stylus is wireless, and I actually upgraded to the rechargeable one, but TBH the batteries in the AA battery one last a LONG time.
For tablets, lots of people go Wacom, but I never had the money for them. And I've never felt I was missing out.
Looks like a Pilot Fude Brush Pen Kofude. Recognized it from my old set.
