What is Ink Etch SREF style

This image showcases a dramatic **High Contrast Ink Drawing** **style**, defined by its aggressive use of black ink, heavy cross-hatching, and stark monochrome values. The technique creates deep shadows and intensely bright highlights, evoking a moody, almost graphic novel or traditional engraving aesthetic. To achieve this textured, narrative look in **Midjourney**, the **prompt** must specifically call out linework quality and the absence of color. This powerful style excels at emphasizing drama, texture, and raw emotion in portraits or evocative scenes.

  • Surreal landscape reflected in still water, bright sun breaking through heavy clouds, black and white engraving style
  • An antique teacup on a worn wooden desk, illuminated by a single window light, intricate ink line art, high contrast

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?
