It looks like they made a sketch from life and then applied an ink wash on top of it for the tones. Best way is to learn the basics of perspective (Perspective made easy, framed perspective, perspective for comic artists, Marshall Vandruffs video courses, etc) and then to do studies of landscapes you like. The one you posted is fairly simple in that it doesn't feature any rigid man made structures so you're free to be loose with the perspective. The most important things for doing landscapes like this is having a basic knowledge of perspective and understanding form so you know where to lay down tone to imply lighting.
The best way to learn is to just collect a bunch of art you like, like the on you posted, and do studies of them. Some quick and loose, some longer and more intricate, etc. See how the artist simplifies nature, what kind of marks they're making, where they're laying down their values, etc. And then go outside and try drawing some landscapes from life. Think about how your favorite artists would simplify what you see before you. Then compare it with art you like and think about what you could do differently. You may also find the "Drawing Nature" book by Stanley Multzman helpful. It should be in the book thread. But again I think just doing studies and drawing from life on your own would be the most helpful.
