What is Hatching Illustration SREF style

This distinctive visual technique relies heavily on dense, directional hatching and cross-hatching to define form, shadow, and depth, creating striking contrasts against solid color fields. The resulting aesthetic mirrors classic printmaking methods like woodcuts or engravings but with a modern, graphic polish. When incorporating this into a Midjourney prompt, it allows for powerful texture application across diverse subjects, producing images that feel both tactile and highly stylized. It is a very specific and recognizable artistic style.

Hatching Illustration Prompt Ideas

  • Close-up portrait of a young woman looking thoughtfully into the distance, heavy directional hatching for shading, vibrant orange and deep forest green limited palette
  • African savannah at sunset, graphic landscape illustration using thick hatching technique, luminous orange sky meeting emerald horizon lines
  • Still life arrangement of antique pocket watches and brass mechanisms, rendered in ultra-detailed engraving texture, high contrast lighting
  • A majestic owl in flight, emphasized by bold, overlapping line art defining feathers, stark black and gold color scheme

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.
