It is not obvious in middle of galleries using cycles to find NPR artwork.

But I found this one.

Freestyle is the part of renderer in charge of stylized lines.
And it was used until now, mainly with Blender Render engine.

In 2.8, it will still be available. But Blender Render will not be present.
So, shaders will have to be done using Cycles or EEVEE.

And another NPR renderer for lines called LANPR is in development.

[lanpr] Yiming Wu have just dropped his/her latest build. To witness such line-art NPR come alive (in a real-time environment), it’s an amazing feeling itself. The scene tested here is the Wanderer from Daniel Bystedt. From one of Yiming Wu’s tweets, “… Different line types can be adjusted. NPR artists, I need your thoughts on the legacy Freestyle, what is good and what is bad. I’ll plan the render structure based on your feedback!”

But blender 2.80 (first stable release of 2.8x series) will not be officially released before next year.
