My first ever attempt to do some NPR rendering and my first attempt to use the line art modifier. This is quite a simple image and my intention was to start small. I wanted to go for a line and wash type image, but it has come out a little more illustrative (I think). I think its quite a ‘nice’ image (albeit not a complicated one) and I like the style so may be something I seek to persevere with and improve on. The line art modifier is pretty cool but needs some experimentation, which I enjoy! Onwards and upwards 
Rendered in eevee, colourised and post processed in photoshop (using shadow, AO, bloom passes to help with shadows, highlights etc in PS). Trees and bushes botaniq, but with different materials and custom normals (although I actually just used cryptomatte masks in photoshop, so the materials were a little moot).
Composed, processed and cropped image
(Sort of) The composited output - pre-colourisation and post processing (sort of)
AO Pass
The line art pass (I avoided applying the modifier to the trees and it froze my machine and, when it did work, it didn’t look very good… also think its better to focus on the solid objects (some lines were added in PS where I missed them in Blender!)
Shadow pass.
