What is Colored Pencil Drawing SREF style

This style captures the vibrant texture and layered shading characteristic of traditional colored pencil artwork. It emphasizes visible, expressive strokes that build up rich colors and fine detail, as seen in both portraiture and still life compositions. When using this aesthetic in Midjourney, incorporating keywords like "colored pencil texture" or "layered strokes" helps achieve this tangible, hand-drawn feel. This specific style excels at translating detailed subjects into appealing illustrations. A well-crafted prompt utilizing this aesthetic can produce images that balance realism with a charming, illustrative quality.

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.

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