What is Sketchy Doodle SREF style

This aesthetic merges clean visual foundations, sometimes photographic or flat vector art, with spontaneous, expressive line work, often restricted to a single dominant color like deep red or black. It creates a compelling juxtaposition between detailed realism and charmingly simple doodles. In Midjourney, crafting an effective prompt for this style requires clearly delineating between the photographic/base layer and the sketch overlay to capture this specific illustrative quality. This unique style is highly effective for adding personality and an intimate touch to otherwise standard imagery, making it a popular choice when seeking a distinct visual style.

Sketchy Doodle Prompt Ideas

  • A portrait of a thoughtful young woman with messy curly hair, drawn using expressive, thick red ink lines on a pale cream background, subtle blush spots, minimalist composition
  • Hyper-realistic close-up of a ceramic pear-shaped vase sitting on a wooden tray, overlaid with simple black line art drawing of blooming asymmetrical flowers, shallow depth of field, soft natural light
  • Minimalist landscape of suburban houses under a pale pastel sky, background rendered in muted tones, overlaid with delicate red wireframe outline of a distant mountain range and small birds in flight
  • A complex technical blueprint overlaid with chaotic, energetic red marker scribbles and abstract shapes, high contrast, fine line details

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.
