What is Vintage Sketch Realism SREF style

Vintage Sketch Realism is a captivating artistic style that blends the precision of realistic illustration with the raw, expressive quality of hand-drawn sketches. This aesthetic often features fine line work, subtle shading, and a muted, sepia-toned color palette, set against a textured background like aged parchment. In Midjourney, this style is perfect for creating timeless portraits, intricate still lifes, and nostalgic scenes. A carefully constructed prompt can evoke a sense of historical artistry and handcrafted charm, making this style a favorite for users wanting to add a touch of classic elegance to their creations.

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.
