What is Graphic Penwork SREF style

Ink Illustration captures powerful visual narratives through crisp lines and varied texture techniques, often relying solely on black and white. This image showcases the expressive potential of the style, utilizing heavy linework for definition (especially in the portrait) and stippling for atmospheric shading in the landscapes and still life. When crafting a prompt for this aesthetic in Midjourney, specifying "pen and ink drawing," "stippling texture," and "high contrast black and white" is crucial to replicate this raw, graphic quality. It’s perfect for creating stylized characters, moody scenes, and intricate designs without color distraction.

  • A mysterious ancient forest clearing at night, detailed linework, heavy cross-hatching and dot work shading, atmospheric, ink illustration
  • An ornate, antique telescope resting on a wooden desk next to stacks of old maps, classic pen and ink style, moody lighting, high detail
  • A lone crow perched on a gravestone under a crescent moon, minimalist composition, sharp black lines, ink wash style 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.
