What is Sketchbook SREF style
This aesthetic captures the raw, immediate energy of traditional pen or pencil sketches found in a personal sketchbook. It is characterized by loose, energetic cross-hatching, visible construction lines, and often features dark, expressive subject matter like dramatic portraits, gothic still lifes, or moody landscapes. For Midjourney users, incorporating this into a prompt evokes a feeling of authenticity and unfinished beauty. To replicate this distinct visual style, you must use keywords that emphasize the medium, such as "ink drawing," "lined paper background," or "rough pencil work." Mastering this prompt technique allows for diverse subjects rendered with an intimate, handcrafted feeling.
