What is Textured Illustration SREF style

This visual approach is defined by its prominent, tactile surface texture, simulating coarse paper or thick, matte paint like gouache or acrylic. The color palette leans heavily toward warm, earthy tones—rich oranges, deep reds, and muted teals—creating a cozy yet stylized atmosphere. Shapes are often simplified and bold, focusing on mood over photorealism. When crafting a prompt for this style in Midjourney, emphasizing texture keywords like `textured paper`, `gouache`, or `grainy overlay` is crucial. This technique excels at producing character portraits and evocative scene settings with a distinct, handcrafted feeling.

  • A lonely lighthouse on a rocky coast during an overcast day, stylized landscape painting, visible canvas texture, muted palette
  • Still life composition of vintage coffee mugs on a worn wooden table, digital gouache effect, strong directional shadows, earthen tones
  • A tiny traveler exploring vast orange dunes leading toward a stylized coastal town, narrative art, strong texture overlay

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.
