What is Precision Inking SREF style

The Engraving Style is characterized by meticulous black ink rendering using techniques like hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling to create tonal variation and texture. This look evokes historical prints, scientific illustrations, or detailed tattoo designs, offering a high-contrast, fine-lined aesthetic. When using this style in Midjourney, specifying detailed line work and specific shading methods (like stipple shading) helps achieve the desired intricate effect. A well-crafted prompt focusing on these technical aspects will yield sophisticated, monochromatic, and richly textured results suitable for high-end graphic art.

Precision Inking Prompt Ideas

  • Detailed portrait of an astronaut on Mars, face visible through helmet visor, hyper-detailed stipple shading, high contrast black ink drawing
  • A vast, dramatic canyon landscape at dawn, rendered in traditional etching style, intense cross-hatching, minimalist composition
  • A still life of an antique clock and scattered gears, heavy black ink illustration, style of 19th-century scientific diagram
  • Steampunk owl wearing spectacles, intricate linework, engraved details on feathers, monochromatic illustration

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.
