What is Ink Character Rendering SREF style

This style is characterized by its raw, immediate feel, relying heavily on expressive, hand-drawn black ink outlines combined with flat or roughly textured areas of limited color. It mirrors the aesthetic of contemporary editorial illustrations or children's books that prioritize character over photorealism. When crafting a prompt for this look in Midjourney, emphasize loose sketching, ink wash, and a high contrast between the dominant linework and the background. The resulting images look authentic, imperfect, and full of energy, perfect for narrative scenes or character portraits where a distinct graphic sensibility is desired.

Ink Character Rendering Prompt Ideas

  • A whimsical library filled with floating books, sketchy illustration style, prominent black ink lines, touches of muted teal and sepia, high contrast
  • Portrait of a determined astronaut looking out of a spaceship window, expressive ink drawing style, minimal vibrant color accents, textured background
  • Still life of exotic fruits on a wooden table, thick sketchy outlines, rough crayon textures, limited palette of warm colors
  • A lone medieval knight standing in a field under a deep blue night sky, highly detailed ink sketch, illuminated by a large moon

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.
