What is Hatching Illustration SREF style

This distinct artistic approach emphasizes detailed line work, characterized by dense hatching and cross-hatching to build shadows, volume, and texture, closely mimicking traditional pen and ink illustration. The color palette is largely monochromatic or muted, reserving vivid hues (like bright blue or warm sepia) for strategic accents, drawing the eye to focal points. When applying this **style** within **Midjourney**, incorporating terms like 'ink drawing' or 'cross contour lines' into your **prompt** will yield sophisticated, graphic results that retain the precision of fine draftsmanship.

Hatching Illustration Prompt Ideas

  • Intense close-up portrait of a noble warrior, defined by precise cross-hatching shading, selective amber eyes, pen and ink illustration
  • Vast, serene mountain landscape reflected in a quiet lake, dramatic cumulus clouds, highly detailed hatching technique, minimal turquoise accent color
  • Still life composition of antique apothecary bottles and geometric objects, masterfully rendered with ink crosshatching, high contrast light source
  • A lone astronaut observing a complex alien nebula, detailed line work illustration, dramatic rim lighting emphasizing contours, stark white background

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.
