Style Characteristics

These images showcase a warm and dreamy watercolor-style with a childlike charm, defined by simple lines and soft color tones. What's particularly striking is the hand-drawn quality, with each stroke carrying a slightly trembling imperfection that brings a human touch to the artwork. The color saturation is moderate, utilizing gentle beige, light blue, pink, and other soft hues that create a calm and cozy atmosphere. The compositions are clean, with backgrounds often left blank or treated with a single color to highlight the main subjects.

Art Style Type

This style blends elements of fairy tale illustration, Japanese kawaii aesthetics, and modern minimalism. It belongs to these categories because: the character designs are simplified yet expressive, the line work is soft and irregular, the color palette is warm and comfortable, and the overall mood conveys a light-hearted feeling while maintaining a simple artistic impact. This style excels at communicating complex emotions through simple imagery, which is the essence of modern minimalist illustration.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Watercolor texture: Enhances the natural feel of the paper and the way pigments blend, making the images softer and more vibrant
  • Soft lighting: Adds subtle shadow variations that give the figures more dimension while maintaining the overall warm atmosphere
  • Hand-drawn lines: Reinforces the irregular, handmade quality that increases the uniqueness and personal touch of the work

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, healing-themed phone wallpapers, mental health promotional materials, café menu designs, stationery product packaging, heartwarming social media graphics, and any visual design context that needs to convey warmth and tranquility. It's also excellent for expressing themes related to nature and inner peace.

More Tips


You can explore further by combining the following command:

  • --sv: There are six versions of the Style Reference feature in Midjourney version 7 when using images. Use the --sv parameter to choose between them. --sv 6 is default. --sv 4 is the old V7 sref model (prior to June 16, 2025). Using --sv 6 and --sv 4 may produce different style results.
  • --s: Default value is 100, can be set from 0 to 1000. The higher the value, the more detailed the image, and the closer the style may be to reality.
  • -niji 6: Using this command will give the image a more anime style.
  • --sw: Default value is 100, can be input from 0 to 1000. A higher value makes the style closer to the original.
  • You can now blend multiple --sref codes together (for example --sref 123 456 )
  • You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows --sref 123::2
