What is Ink Trace SREF style

The Ink Sketch style is characterized by its striking use of fluid, expressive black lines on a stark white background, often mimicking traditional brushwork or pen and ink techniques. This aesthetic prioritizes contour and energy over detailed rendering, creating an immediate, gestural feel. When implementing this style in Midjourney, using specific keywords like "loose ink sketch" or "Japanese calligraphy influence" can yield compelling results. Effective prompt construction focuses on the subject matter while emphasizing the raw, minimalist quality of the medium, perfect for designs needing a sophisticated, hand-drawn touch.

Ink Trace Prompt Ideas

  • Elegant female profile, minimalist ink sketch, strong gestural lines, high contrast, white background
  • A lone tree on a plain, quick ink sketch, capturing atmosphere with minimal strokes, high negative space
  • Still life study of a vase, fruits, and a glass, loose brush drawing, Japanese ink style, black on white paper
  • Conceptual portrait of a city, rapid ink lines, architectural sketch, high detail focused on outline

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.
