What is Pen and Ink Drawing SREF style

This style captures the intricate detail and high contrast achieved through traditional pen and ink illustration techniques. It relies heavily on dense cross-hatching, fine lines, and meticulous stippling (dot work) to define volume, texture, and shadow, resulting in a classic, monochromatic aesthetic. When applied in a **Midjourney prompt**, this **style** excels at rendering detailed portraits, dramatic landscapes, and still life compositions with a vintage or illustrative feel. It emphasizes precision and texture over color, making it a powerful choice for users seeking striking, graphic black-and-white output for any subject matter.

  • An ancient, overgrown castle ruin in a vast desert landscape, monochrome illustration, masterfully executed cross-hatching and fine lines defining shadows
  • A still life of antique pottery and wildflowers on a wooden shelf, black and white, focus on texture and detailed line work, library aesthetic

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.
