This style of drawing is called "ligne claire", it was pioneered by French artists such as Hergé (Tintin) and by Jean Giraud under the pen name Moebius, and after him by Katsuhiro Ōtomo (Akira) and Hayao Miyazaki (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind).
Just look up the drawings and the comics. The main elements to learn are perspective and form, because there you can't aid yourself with rendering of form and the colors are flat, so you have to make the drawing itself as precise as possible.

You can't say Moebius without moe

Speaking of watercolors, how hard are they to learn? I've heard that they're much trickier than oils. Much more unforgiving.

In the end, I guess it all comes down to just putting the time into practice. Are there guiding principles? How do I shift from color depth to color depth, or does the paint do that by itself?
