What is Hatching Render SREF style

This style captures the detailed, precise aesthetic of traditional engraving or etching. It relies heavily on fine parallel lines and meticulous cross-hatching to create depth, texture, and tonal variation, resulting in high-contrast, intricate visuals. Color, if present, is often muted or applied as delicate washes, preserving the dominance of the linework. When crafting a **Midjourney prompt** for this look, keywords like "engraving," "hatching," and "fine line illustration" are crucial. This specific **style** yields results that feel both classic and highly detailed, perfect for complex subjects. Using the right **prompt** modifiers can enhance the clarity and sharpness of the final image.

  • Victorian detective investigating a foggy London street, dynamic motion blur effect, heavy ink wash and engraving

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?
