What is Raw Stroke SREF style

This striking visual style is defined by powerful, thick black lines and high-contrast compositions, often featuring simplified figures or scenes rendered with raw energy. It draws heavily from modern **Expressionism**, focusing on emotional impact over realistic depiction. When generating art in **Midjourney**, incorporating terms like "bold ink stroke" or "heavy outline" alongside this **style** descriptor yields compelling results. Mastering the right **prompt** requires balancing the graphic intensity with the underlying subject matter to maintain coherence in the AI generation, often resulting in captivating, raw artistic statements.

Raw Stroke Prompt Ideas

  • A close-up portrait of a futuristic mercenary, massive expressive black ink lines, stark white background, intense gaze, raw texture
  • A desolate landscape of monolithic trees under a dramatic, moody sky, thick expressionist brushstrokes, high contrast black and white with a single splash of orange
  • A chaotic still life of abstract geometric shapes and vases, heavy black outlines dominating the composition, inspired by modern primitivism
  • A whimsical character interacting with simple household objects, bold graphic shapes, highly simplified features, digital ink painting

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.
