What is Graphic Wash SREF style

This style is characterized by extreme tonal variation, relying solely on deep blacks and stark whites to define form and create drama. It utilizes bold, expressive lines and velvety shadows juxtaposed against negative space, strongly mimicking traditional ink wash or highly rendered graphic novel art. When crafting a prompt in Midjourney, using keywords like "high contrast," "ink wash," or "dramatic chiaroscuro" is essential to achieve this powerful, graphic aesthetic suitable for impactful portraits and scenes.

Graphic Wash Prompt Ideas

  • solitary figure standing at the entrance of a massive cavern, epic scale, swirling rock formations, high contrast ink drawing, detailed texture
  • still life of vintage wine bottles and ripe apples, sharp ink illustration, focused lighting, minimal background
  • abstract architectural blueprint sketch, aggressive black lines, negative space composition, high contrast ink style

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.
