What is Chiaroscuro Scribble SREF style

This artistic style is characterized by highly expressive, high-contrast black and white compositions, heavily influenced by traditional printmaking techniques like monotype or raw ink washes. It features saturated black masses juxtaposed with intricate, often chaotic, gestural line work and scribbles used for texture and form definition. When crafting a **Midjourney prompt**, specifying this **style** forces the AI to focus on graphic impact and texture over color. Effective generation often relies on terms like 'high contrast' and 'expressive brushwork.' A powerful **prompt** in this aesthetic typically yields bold, moody, and intensely textural results suitable for modern illustration or graphic portraits.

Chiaroscuro Scribble Prompt Ideas

  • Minimalist portrait of a pensive figure, heavy black ink brushstrokes obscuring the eyes, high contrast black and white, expressive ink illustration style
  • Abstract landscape composition of rolling hills and trees, using only dense black ink washes and energetic hatching lines, raw ink drawing style
  • Still life of abstract geometric vessels, rendered with deep black silhouettes and surrounding chaotic scribbled outlines, ink sketch aesthetic
  • Deconstructed brutalist architecture, rendered using only sharp, graphic black ink patterns and heavy texture, high contrast illustration

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.
