What is Ink and Wash Sketch SREF style

This visual approach merges fluid, expressive watercolor washes with sharp, dynamic black ink line work, often incorporating drafting elements like construction lines and handwritten notes. It evokes the spontaneous yet detailed nature of conceptual design or field illustration. To achieve this striking contrast and energy in Midjourney, a carefully constructed prompt is necessary. Utilizing terms related to mixed media and rapid sketching helps define this unique visual style. This specific artistic style is excellent for conceptualizing characters, landscapes, or architecture with dramatic texture and depth, making it a sought-after style when generating images in Midjourney.

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.
