What is Sketch SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by crisp, visible, and often dynamic black line work, emphasizing form and structure over intricate shading or color application. It captures the raw, expressive energy of an artist's initial concept or detailed preliminary drawing. In Midjourney, incorporating this style often yields striking results when generating initial concepts or focusing purely on graphic composition. A well-crafted prompt referencing this look can achieve clean, versatile outlines perfect for graphic design, storyboarding, or sequential art bases, maintaining high contrast and clarity.

Sketch Prompt Ideas

  • A dramatic close-up portrait of a stoic knight in detailed armor, expressive line art, high contrast sketch
  • Vast ancient ruins covered in jungle vines, viewed from below, deep atmospheric sketch, detailed contour lines
  • Intricate drawing of a steampunk clockwork mechanism spread across a workbench, engineering blueprint aesthetic, clean line art
  • Abstract representation of sound waves and energy flowing through a city, kinetic line work, black and white graphic 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.
