What is Contour Mapping SREF style

This visual approach is defined by intricate, monochrome line work, primarily utilizing flowing, dense contour lines and variations of hatching against a stark, saturated background (like vivid yellow). Forms are built up not through traditional shading but through the density and curvature of these interwoven lines, lending a hypnotic, detailed, and slightly surreal quality to portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. To replicate this effect in **Midjourney**, the **prompt** should heavily emphasize "contour lines," "dense hatching," and potentially reference ink drawing techniques. Mastering this specific **style** results in high-detail, illustrative artwork with a unique textural depth.

Contour Mapping Prompt Ideas

  • Close-up portrait of a young woman rendered entirely in dense, flowing contour lines, deep shadows defined by intricate hatching, vibrant yellow background, pen and ink illustration
  • Winding path leading to a solitary cabin on rolling hills, detailed topography defined by swirling contour lines that map the entire landscape, black ink drawing on yellow paper
  • Still life of pears and geometric glass vases covered in highly detailed, overlapping line work, extreme texture, dramatic chiaroscuro created only by line density
  • An ancient architectural ruin viewed through a complex, overlapping network of topographical contour lines, moody atmosphere, monochromatic ink rendering

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.
