Art Style Type

This SREF style blends illustrated storybook aesthetics with light manga elements, featuring distinct watercolor textures and hand-drawn linework. It incorporates the warm color palette and simplified compositions of traditional children's books while infusing modern illustrative design sensibilities and expressiveness. The style creates an impression that's both nostalgic and contemporary, as if classic storybook art has been given new life.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of these images include soft, warm color combinations dominated by orange and yellow tones, with clean, flowing lines that maintain a hand-drawn quality. The compositions are simple and direct, emphasizing the main subjects while keeping background details balanced without overwhelming the focal points. The overall effect is both cozy and light-hearted, with the impressive balance between modern illustration and vintage storybook aesthetics making the images feel simultaneously familiar and fresh.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

Hand-drawn illustration: Enhances the line quality and manually crafted feel, adding warmth and human touch
Warm color palette: Further strengthens the orange-yellow warmth, making scenes more inviting and comfortable
Vintage storybook: Adds more nostalgic elements, improving the narrative quality and emotional resonance

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, seasonal themed decorations (especially autumn and Halloween), café menu designs, lifestyle blog imagery, indie game character design, and any visual context requiring a warm, friendly aesthetic with a touch of vintage charm.

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.
