Style Summary

This style set features a collection of illustrations that resemble pencil sketches, characterized by a monochromatic palette (shades of gray), visible linework, and a blend of realism and stylized elements. The styles evoke a sense of handcrafted artistry, dynamic movement, and a classic, yet slightly rough-around-the-edges, aesthetic.

Style Analysis

Color: The color palettes are monochromatic, primarily using shades of gray (from light gray to black). This creates a sense of classic simplicity and emphasizes the linework and texture of the sketches. The absence of color adds to the handcrafted and slightly raw feel.
Lighting: The lighting is often implied through the linework and shading, with variations in line weight and density creating the illusion of light and shadow. The light source may be ambiguous or suggested through the direction of the lines and the placement of highlights and shadows.
Design Technique: The styles emulate the aesthetic of pencil sketches, with visible linework, hatched shading, and a blend of realism and stylized elements. The characters and objects are often depicted with dynamic poses and expressive features, conveying a sense of movement and energy. There's often a sense of spontaneity and immediacy to the sketches, as if they were drawn quickly and with a sense of passion. The styles convey a sense of handcrafted artistry, dynamic movement, classic yet slightly rough aesthetic, and a blend of realism and stylized elements.

Application Scenarios

Illustrations for Books, Comics, or Graphic Novels that Embrace a Sketchy or Hand-Drawn Aesthetic: The styles are perfect for creating visual narratives that have a raw, energetic, and slightly unfinished feel. The visible linework and hatched shading can add a sense of immediacy and authenticity to the storytelling.

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
