What is Selective Ink Sketch SREF style

This striking visual approach merges detailed, expressive line work—reminiscent of traditional ink sketching and cross-hatching—with dramatic, selective color application, often focusing on vibrant cyan or teal hues. The overall aesthetic provides high contrast, where form is primarily defined by black lines while color accents create focal points. When creating art in **Midjourney** using this **style**, one should emphasize detailed linework and deliberate, sparse color use. A successful **prompt** will often utilize descriptive terms for texture and high contrast to achieve this unique, graphic illustration look.

Selective Ink Sketch Prompt Ideas

  • Close-up portrait of a determined warrior, detailed cross-hatching ink drawing, vibrant cyan accents on face and clothing, high contrast
  • Vast, serene lake reflecting a bright cyan sky with scattered clouds, dense dark forest silhouette, heavy ink sketch texture, selective teal coloring in the water reflection
  • Still life of antique glass bottles and oranges on a wooden table, drawn entirely in harsh black ink lines, only the water inside the blue glass bottle has vibrant teal wash color
  • Intricate drawing of a giant mystical creature emerging from a fog, detailed pen and ink illustration, deep shadows, selective splashes of vivid turquoise color

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.
