What is Ink Sketch SREF style

This distinctive visual approach is defined by spontaneous, energetic black ink lines over a white ground, heavily relying on complex cross-hatching and scribbling to build volume, shadow, and texture. The overall impression is raw, dynamic, and highly expressive, capturing subjects—whether portrait, landscape, or still life—with immediate intensity rather than smooth rendering. When using this **style** in **Midjourney**, incorporating terms like "hatching," "crosshatch," and "pen and ink drawing" into your **prompt** ensures the AI replicates these intricate, layered line structures effectively.

Ink Sketch Prompt Ideas

  • Close-up portrait of an ancient warrior, intense facial expression, detailed cross-hatching and ink scribbles, dynamic pen and ink drawing
  • An empty Parisian cafe table with a single wine glass, highly energetic ink sketch, chaotic yet refined lines, high contrast
  • Futuristic cityscape sketch, intricate mechanical detail rendered purely with layered ink lines, moody atmosphere
  • A single weeping willow tree by a reflective pond, expressive monochrome line art, dense hatching for shadows

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.
