What is Gentle Illustration SREF style

This aesthetic features soft, blended edges and visible but subtle digital brushwork, creating a highly tactile and warm appearance. Colors are generally muted, favoring earthy tones, but employ warm highlights (like rosy cheeks) for gentle emphasis. The compositions are often narrative and serene, suitable for character portraits or cozy environments. When aiming for this inviting style in Midjourney, incorporating terms describing texture, soft ambient lighting, and painterly blending in your prompt ensures consistently gentle and evocative outputs.

  • Still life of an orange, a pear, and cotton blossoms in clear glass vases on a wooden table, gentle lighting, painterly rendering

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?
