What is Ballpoint Hatching SREF style

This technique simulates highly detailed, precise drawing typically achieved with a ballpoint pen. It is characterized by meticulous hatching and cross-hatching using limited color palettes, often electric blue and warm red/orange, against a white background. Forms are sculpted entirely through the density and direction of these fine lines, creating vibrant texture and volume. To replicate this visual aesthetic in a generative AI context, the right prompt structure is crucial. When using Midjourney, referencing the medium and the line work ensures the output captures this distinct style, resulting in graphic, intensely lined illustrations perfect for portraits or detailed scenes.

Ballpoint Hatching Prompt Ideas

  • A striking portrait of a young woman looking directly at the viewer, rendered entirely with blue and red ballpoint pen hatching, intricate crosshatching for shading, stark white background
  • Vast open field landscape under a pale sky, illustrated using intricate red and blue line hatching to depict grass texture and rolling hills, highly detailed rendering
  • Complex still life of antique clockwork mechanisms and gears, drawn with meticulous cross-hatching, limited palette of deep indigo and orange ink, studio lighting
  • A majestic lion's head, detailed fur texture created solely through directional fine blue lines, high contrast illustration, white paper texture

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
