Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of hand-drawn illustration, line art, and woodcut printing techniques. It has a distinct indie comic and illustrated book feel, with clean yet expressive linework, moderate formalization, while maintaining the texture and imperfections of hand-crafted work. The style evokes the feeling of an independent artist's portfolio that is both modern and nostalgically vintage.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this style are bold, expressive linework, minimalist yet purposeful composition, and limited but high-contrast color palettes. Each piece uses a monochromatic background paired with black lines to create a dreamlike, poetic atmosphere. The slightly trembling quality of the lines maintains a hand-drawn feel, and this "imperfection" actually adds character and warmth. Particularly impressive is how it conveys maximum emotion and storytelling with minimal detail.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Sketchy style: Emphasizes the hand-drawn quality and natural flow of lines, giving the work more artistic personality and warmth
  • Woodcut effect: Enhances the boldness of lines and textural contrast, creating stronger visual impact and artistic impression
  • Monochromatic: By limiting colors, this strengthens composition and emotional expression while increasing cohesiveness and recognition

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for illustrations in independent publications, literary work accompaniments, artist personal branding, visual elements for specialty cafés or bookshops, character design for indie games, and concept art that needs to express deep emotions and storytelling. It also works wonderfully for artistic posters, postcards, and personalized merchandise with an artistic sensibility.

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
