What is Hatching Sketch SREF style

This visual style is characterized by expressive, monochrome ink work heavily reliant on traditional hatching and cross-hatching techniques to define form, shadow, and texture. The lines are intentionally visible and energetic, lending a raw, immediate quality to the subjects, whether they are detailed portraits or atmospheric landscapes. When using this style in a **Midjourney prompt**, incorporating terms like "ink sketch," "heavy crosshatching," or "pen and ink drawing" helps capture this effect. Mastering this **style** allows for dramatic contrast and depth, making it an excellent foundation for character concept art or concept environment sketches in **Midjourney**.

Hatching Sketch Prompt Ideas

  • Close-up portrait of a mysterious detective, highly detailed hatching sketch, dramatic shadows, dynamic ink lines
  • Ancient ruined temple overgrown by jungle, monochromatic sketch, heavy crosshatching for shadows, detailed landscape drawing
  • A still life of an ornate ceramic vase and a single skull on a wooden table, pen and ink drawing, sharp directional lighting, high contrast hatching
  • A lone elf archer traversing a rocky path, expressive line art, visible sketchy outlines, monochromatic ink wash effect

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.
