What is Graphite Rendering SREF style

The Pencil Sketch style in Midjourney is characterized by clean, intricate line work rendered in monochrome, often simulating traditional graphite drawing on white paper. This approach emphasizes form, texture, and depth through skillful hatching, cross-hatching, and varying line weights, as seen in detailed portraits, landscapes, or technical studies. Utilizing this distinct style in a Midjourney prompt allows users to generate highly detailed black and white concept art, precision illustrations, or expressive character studies that focus purely on structure and composition.

Graphite Rendering Prompt Ideas

  • A panoramic view of a colossal gothic cathedral built into a canyon wall, highly detailed pencil sketch, fine linework, dynamic composition
  • Close-up portrait of a stoic elven sorcerer, dramatic shading using cross-hatching, traditional graphite drawing style, high contrast
  • Technical illustration of a complex steampunk clockwork mechanism, precise ink lines, surrounded by small annotation sketches, white background
  • A still life of exotic fruits and a crystal decanter, masterful shading technique, pencil sketch on textured paper

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.
