What is Expressive Ink SREF style

This style is defined by dynamic, high-energy black linework overlaid with striking, saturated magenta accents and soft peachy washes for dimension. It captures subjects with immediacy, reminiscent of rapid concept sketching combined with bold graphic elements. When using **Midjourney**, incorporating terms like "energetic line art" and "limited color palette" is key to achieving this raw, artistic look. This approach works excellently for character portraits, landscapes, or still life, producing compelling visuals ideal for creative **prompt** engineering, leveraging the high contrast inherent in this **style**.

Expressive Ink Prompt Ideas

  • close-up portrait of a mysterious young man, energetic ink sketch, vibrant magenta accents, high contrast, white background
  • canyon landscape at sunrise, raw sketch style, heavy black outlines, splashes of deep pink wash, minimalist composition
  • still life of vintage perfume bottles and pears, expressive line drawing, selective neon pink fill, dynamic brushstrokes, stark background
  • abstract figure dissolving into light, intense gestural drawing, limited color palette of black and electric pink, graphic 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.
