What is Woodcut SREF style

This visualization captures the raw, graphic aesthetic of traditional Woodcut printmaking. It is characterized by stark black and white contrast, deep shadows created using dense parallel lines and dramatic cross-hatching, and textured surfaces. This bold, graphic style is excellent for creating high-impact narrative scenes, intense portraits, or detailed still lifes. When using a Midjourney prompt, including terms like 'relief print' or 'linocut' alongside subject matter will effectively evoke this sharp, tactile, hand-carved look.

Woodcut Prompt Ideas

  • A dramatic portrait of an old wizard, intense expression, heavy cross-hatching, black ink relief print
  • Panoramic view of a mysterious European town nestled in jagged mountains, moonlit sky, traditional woodcut illustration
  • A detailed still life of antique brass instruments and scattered scrolls on a worn wooden desk, high contrast ink drawing, textured surface
  • A lone armored figure standing before a massive, ancient tree, deep forest setting, bold lines, woodcut technique

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.
