What is Oil Pastel Sketch SREF style

This visual approach captures the raw texture and expressive coloring typical of traditional oil pastel drawings or heavy crayon work. Key characteristics include bold, visible strokes, rich color saturation often applied in distinct, layered blocks, and a charming, slightly rough finish that avoids photorealism. When used in Midjourney, this style excels at creating warm, tactile illustrations perfect for children's books or editorial pieces. To generate images matching this aesthetic in a Midjourney prompt, focus on materiality and texture to guide the AI toward this distinctive, manually rendered look.

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).
