What is Fine Line Etching SREF style

This style captures the precise and textural quality of traditional Ink drawing, characterized by intricate line work, detailed cross-hatching, and stippling used extensively for depth and shadow. Images generated in this style often possess a strong, high-contrast, black-and-white aesthetic, creating moody, sometimes surreal compositions. When constructing your Midjourney prompt, utilizing terms like "fine liner," "hatching," or "etching" significantly enhances the technical appearance. Mastering this prompt technique allows for highly detailed still lifes, expressive portraits, or atmospheric landscapes rendered exclusively in monochrome.

Fine Line Etching Prompt Ideas

  • Fractured classical bust portrait, intricate cross-hatching shading, high contrast ink drawing, dramatic lighting

  • Vanitas still life with animal skull and wilting roses, fine liner drawing, extreme detail, dark academia aesthetic
  • Abstract representation of sound waves using only black ink pen hatching, dynamic movement, minimalist composition

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.
