What is Ink Density Rendering SREF style

This illustrative style is characterized by stark black and white contrast achieved primarily through meticulous hatching and cross-hatching techniques, mimicking traditional pen-and-ink illustration. The resulting images possess deep textures, strong chiaroscuro effects, and a raw, expressive quality suitable for graphic narratives or detailed studies. When mastering this aesthetic in **Midjourney**, focusing the **prompt** on line work, high contrast, and specific inking details helps generate highly detailed, dramatic outputs reminiscent of master illustrators. This technique is excellent for achieving a bold, non-colorized **style**.

Ink Density Rendering Prompt Ideas

  • A dramatic portrait of an astronaut looking towards a neon-lit cityscape, detailed ink drawing, extreme cross-hatching shading
  • Serene alpine lake reflection under stormy clouds, rendered entirely in meticulous pen and ink, high contrast, detailed landscape illustration
  • Steampunk mechanical owl perched on an antique book, detailed illustration, black ink only, visible texture of the paper, high contrast
  • Close-up of a hand holding a delicate glass vial, chiaroscuro lighting, intense crosshatching shading, ink drawing style

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.
