What is High-Contrast Drafting SREF style

This style is defined by its stark, high-contrast execution, relying heavily on precise black and white values, sharp lines, and intricate hatching techniques to define form and texture. It captures detailed subjects—from dramatic landscapes to refined portraits—with intense visual depth, often reminiscent of classic graphic novel panels or detailed pen-and-ink sketches. When using this style in Midjourney, specifying strong contrast and line quality is crucial for the prompt to achieve this striking, monochromatic aesthetic.

High-Contrast Drafting Prompt Ideas

  • Close-up portrait of an elderly craftsman, fine line art, dramatic rim lighting, deep shadows, ink drawing style
  • A complex arrangement of vintage mechanical gears and watch parts, white ink on black background, detailed rendering
  • A lone cyberpunk detective standing under heavy rain in a narrow alley, detailed black and white illustration, dramatic lighting

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.
