What is Hatching Drawing SREF style

This distinctive aesthetic is defined by meticulous line work, primarily utilizing hatching and cross-hatching techniques to define volume, shadow, and texture. Images often appear almost entirely monochromatic, relying on the density of fine black lines against a muted, often sepia-toned paper background. It powerfully evokes the look of vintage engravings, scientific illustrations, or detailed pen-and-ink studies. When crafting a **Midjourney** **prompt**, specifying "ink illustration with heavy crosshatching" yields striking results. This **style** captures intricate detail while maintaining a stark, graphic impact, making it ideal for subjects requiring deep textural representation.

Hatching Drawing Prompt Ideas

  • A lone lighthouse on a rocky cliff, detailed ink drawing, heavy crosshatching texture, moody atmosphere, muted tones
  • Close-up portrait of an old wizard with a long beard, rendered entirely with fine hatching lines, black ink on aged paper, high detail
  • A surreal still life of melting clocks and geometric shapes, meticulous pen and ink illustration, complex crosshatching patterns
  • An astronaut discovering an ancient alien ruin on Mars, scientific illustration aesthetic, extreme texture using only pen strokes

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.
