What is Hatched Outline SREF style

This visual approach combines bold, thick black outlines reminiscent of comic book inking with internal coloring achieved through distinct, visible hatching or scribbled textures, similar to marker art. It lends a dynamic and handcrafted feel to digital generation. To achieve this distinctive aesthetic in Midjourney, your prompt should emphasize the linear texture and heavy linework. Mastering this specific style creates characters and scenes with high visual contrast and expressive depth, making everyday subjects appear highly stylized.

  • A delicate cherry blossom branch in a ceramic vase, strong defining ink lines, soft background bokeh, inspired by Japanese illustration
  • Gritty medieval knight standing in heavy rain, thick black contour lines, expressive cross-hatching for shadows

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.
