What is Monochrome Stipple Engraving SREF style

This style is characterized by meticulous black and white execution, often utilizing fine line work, hatching, and extensive stippling (dot work) to achieve complex tonal gradients and texture on a stark white background. It evokes a sense of classic illustration, capturing both delicate portraits and atmospheric landscapes with high detail and high contrast. When utilizing this style in Midjourney, incorporating terms like "pen and ink," "stipple shading," and "monochrome" within your prompt can yield incredibly refined, graphic results. This aesthetic merges traditional draftsmanship skills with modern rendering capabilities, making it highly versatile for graphic design and fine art generation.

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.
