What is Essence Line SREF style

This distinctive artistic approach, often referred to as Line Art or Minimalist Line Drawing, focuses entirely on capturing form and essence using simple, expressive black strokes against a stark white ground. Shading and complex details are omitted in favor of fluidity and contour. When using this style in Midjourney, the prompt needs to emphasize the simplicity and the quality of the line work. Achieving the right level of gestural energy is key to this style, making it highly effective for clean illustrations, modern icons, or striking minimalist character studies.

  • A figure skating mid-jump, dynamic motion blur captured only through trailing line work, 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.
