What is Ink Trace SREF style

This distinctive aesthetic is defined by bold, highly expressive black ink brushstrokes against a pale, textured backdrop, evoking traditional Asian calligraphy and sumi-e art. It champions minimalism and gestural spontaneity, reducing subjects to their essential forms. To achieve this powerful visual impact in Midjourney, ensure your prompt emphasizes the medium and high contrast. This specific style allows for striking interpretations of faces, landscapes, and still life, making it a favorite for modern abstract art generation.

Ink Trace Prompt Ideas

  • Abstract portrait of a pensive woman, executed in thick, sweeping black ink brushstrokes, high contrast, minimalist composition, aged paper texture
  • A desolate, windswept landscape rendered entirely in dynamic sumi-e technique, sweeping black washes, negative space, dramatic horizon
  • Still life of three abstract organic vases, heavy ink blots, Japanese brush art style, highly textured background
  • Minimalist rendering of a soaring eagle, pure black calligraphic lines, energetic movement, focus on negative space

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.
