What is Hatching Illustration SREF style

This unique visual aesthetic is characterized by intricate black-and-white line work, heavily relying on dense hatching and fine cross-hatching to define form, volume, and texture, giving scenes an exquisitely detailed, almost etched quality. Color is deliberately restrained, often reserved only for specific focal points—such as water or eyes—creating a striking contrast against the detailed monochrome canvas. When utilizing this in Midjourney, incorporating strong keywords related to texture and line density is crucial for achieving this distinct illustrative style in your prompt. This approach yields a delicate yet highly structured artistic result.

  • Close-up portrait of a serene young woman with long wavy hair, intensely blue eyes, monochrome drawing rendered entirely in fine ink crosshatching
  • A quiet kitchen table still life featuring ceramic teapots and fruit, meticulous line drawing texture, only the antique teapot and two small bowls feature vibrant azure blue accents
  • A lone explorer standing atop a massive floating island, highly detailed view of the cloud sea below rendered with hatching, soft blue sky highlights

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.
