What is Contour Illustration SREF style

This technique emphasizes form and texture through precise, flowing contour lines, creating high-contrast black and white imagery reminiscent of detailed engravings or stylized pen-and-ink drawings. Volume is achieved entirely by the density and direction of these defining lines, eschewing traditional grayscale shading. When using this in a **Midjourney** **prompt**, specifying "heavy contour lines" or "line density shading" is crucial to capture this unique **style**. It produces highly graphic, detailed results perfect for striking portraits, stylized scenery, or detailed objects within the **Midjourney** generation pipeline.

Contour Illustration Prompt Ideas

  • A detailed portrait of an astronaut helmet, heavy contour line art, flowing ink lines defining the reflections, black and white illustration
  • Rolling alpine landscape under a dramatic sky, rendered entirely in cross-hatching and contour lines, high-contrast monochrome illustration
  • Still life of antique apothecary bottles on a wooden shelf, intricate line engraving style, sharp black lines on white background
  • A majestic, curled dragon composed solely of interconnected, swirling black lines, highly graphic style

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.
