What is Pencil Sketch SREF style

This visual style perfectly captures the aesthetic of detailed graphite or pencil drawings, characterized by precise line work, careful cross-hatching for tonal shading, and a strong emphasis on structural definition. It operates exclusively in black, white, and grey values, foregoing color entirely. When used as a **style** in **Midjourney**, incorporating this **prompt** element generates clean, high-fidelity concept art sketches or academic studies. This approach is invaluable for artists looking to define form, composition, and atmosphere early in the creative process.

Pencil Sketch Prompt Ideas

  • A photorealistic futuristic cityscape rendered entirely in detailed pencil sketch, intricate architecture, high contrast cross-hatching
  • Close-up portrait of a weathered sea captain, hyper-detailed graphite drawing, expressive lines and deep shadows, black and white illustration
  • Still life of antique clockwork mechanisms and gears, academic drawing technique, focus on metallic texture through shading, high fidelity pencil work
  • Vast alien desert landscape, rapid concept sketch aesthetic, dramatic perspective, focused line art only

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.
