What is Working Draft SREF style

The Sketch style captures the raw, energetic quality of preliminary concept art or storyboards. In Midjourney, this style relies on expressive, confident line work, often featuring dynamic hatching and grayscale shading rather than solid rendering. When building a prompt to achieve this aesthetic, focus on terms like 'rough sketch,' 'ink drawing,' or 'concept art.' This powerful style allows users to rapidly visualize composition, mood, and character design before moving to detailed illustration or painting, making it essential for iterative design workflows.

  • Close-up portrait of an aged sea captain, expressive pencil sketch, high contrast cross-hatching, expressive eyes
  • Vibrant outdoor market scene, loose gestural drawing style, focusing on movement and composition, black and white sketch
  • Still life of mechanical gears and antique clocks, intricate technical drawing study, sharp focus, grayscale

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.
