What is Gentle Illustration SREF style

This visual approach is characterized by soft, almost ethereal color palettes, clean yet expressive line work, and a generally tranquil or endearing mood. It often features muted pastels, delicate shading on characters, and atmospheric landscapes or charming objects. Achieving this specific aesthetic in Midjourney requires a careful prompt construction focused on softness and detail. Mastering this style allows for creating calming scenes or appealing character art using the right artistic reference in your Midjourney prompt. It blends elements of modern digital drawing with a subtle, almost dreamy visual quality, perfect for conveying serenity.

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?
