What is Cross-Hatch Depiction SREF style

The Engraving style perfectly mimics the look of classic printmaking techniques like etching or woodcuts, utilizing dense cross-hatching and fine lines to achieve dramatic, high-contrast black and white imagery. This approach results in visuals that feel historical, detailed, and texturally rich. To achieve this stunning effect in Midjourney, ensure your prompt emphasizes intricacy, fine lines, and a strictly monochromatic palette. It is highly effective for creating sophisticated patterns, portraits, and detailed scenic depictions where texture matters more than color.

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.
