What is Manga Ink SREF style

This aesthetic captures the raw energy and precise execution of traditional Japanese comic book art, often referred to as Manga Ink. In Midjourney, prompting for this look results in striking monochrome visuals characterized by sharp linework and a heavy utilization of screentone patterns (halftones and dots) to simulate grayscale and texture. This style emphasizes clean outlines and dramatic contrast, making it perfect for narrative illustration or detailed character work. Mastering the right prompt structure is essential to achieving authentic hatching and dot texture fidelity, replicating the look of traditional manga production.

Manga Ink Prompt Ideas

  • A close-up portrait of a determined woman with curly hair, high contrast black and white, heavy screentone shading, sharp inking, dramatic expression
  • Epic panoramic landscape of rolling hills and distant mountains, black and white ink drawing, dense cross-hatching, film grain texture, cinematic composition
  • A detailed still life of a teapot and succulents on a wooden table, traditional manga illustration, intricate linework, subtle halftone usage, high detail
  • A futuristic cyborg preparing for battle, detailed manga panel, stark black and white, dynamic motion lines, gritty textures

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.

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.
