What is Preliminary Draft SREF style
The Sketch style captures the immediacy and raw energy of traditional preliminary drawings. Characterized by visible, often energetic pencil or charcoal lines, and expressive, sometimes rough, application of color—often achieved using colored pencils or crayon textures. This approach values mood and shape over perfect rendering. When using this style in Midjourney, you can achieve results that look like quick concept art or artistic studies. A successful prompt incorporating this style will emphasize loose drawing techniques and textural elements, ensuring the AI replicates this charming, unfinished aesthetic in your final render.
