Art Style Type

This SREF style blends watercolor illustration with Japanese picture book aesthetics, featuring subtle manga elements. It belongs to these categories because it employs soft watercolor textures and linework while maintaining the minimalism and poetic quality characteristic of Japanese illustration, with a limited color scheme that creates a unified visual language.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristic of this style is its monochromatic blue color palette that creates depth through varying shades. The lines are delicate yet minimalist, with thoughtful negative space creating an ethereal quality. Most impressive is the dreamlike, serene atmosphere and the ink-wash-like texture and transparency that makes the images both modern and reminiscent of traditional Eastern art.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Ink diffusion: Enhances the flowing quality and layering of colors, adding more Eastern artistic sensibility
  • Paper texture: Adds subtle material quality, strengthening the hand-drawn feel and artistic nature while adding warmth
  • Light and shadow contrast: Elevates the depth and drama in the images, creating stronger emotional expression and sense of space

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for emotional storybook illustrations, poetry collections, atmospheric game art, art-house film posters, therapeutic app interface design, and any visual work that aims to create a calm, introspective, or dreamlike atmosphere.

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
