Art Style Type

This set of images displays a fresh and charming illustration style that clearly blends elements of children's picture books and cartoon comics. The style shows influences from French illustrator Jean-Jacques Sempé and British picture book artist Quentin Blake, evident in the simple yet expressive linework and warm, inviting color palette. This style creates a visual effect that feels both modern and nostalgic through simplified yet distinctive character designs and slightly hand-drawn quality lines.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF style include:

  • Clear black outline strokes that are fluid with a casual, spontaneous feel
  • Bright yet soft color palette dominated by warm tones
  • Flat design elements with minimal use of complex shadows or lighting effects
  • Simplified yet expressive character designs, especially exaggerated round eyes and simplified facial features
  • Clean and straightforward scene composition that focuses on conveying situations rather than complex details
  • Overall atmosphere that is cozy, approachable, with a sense of childlike wonder and everyday life

This style is impressive because it can convey rich emotions and storytelling through minimal visual elements, creating work that feels both accessible and artistically expressive.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Children's Book Illustration: Enhances the playfulness and approachability of the work, making characters more endearing and suitable for telling heartwarming stories
  • Simple Line Art: Strengthens the hand-drawn quality and artistic nature of the work, making lines more fluid and natural, creating a more authentic hand-drawn effect
  • Warm-Toned Scenes: Elevates the overall coziness and emotional expression of the image, making scenes feel more lifelike and relatable

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for:

  • Children's picture books and storybook illustrations
  • Educational applications and website visual design
  • Family-themed advertising and marketing materials
  • Packaging design for children's products
  • Character design for children's television programs and animations
  • Promotional materials for schools and educational institutions
  • Light-hearted illustration series depicting everyday life scenarios

More Prompt Tips & Tricks


You can explore further by combining the following prompt command for MidJourney:

  • --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

This website stands out as one of the pioneering libraries I discovered in my AI art journey. What truly sets it apart is its comprehensive offering: not just unique style codes, but also intricate blends and full prompts. The inclusion of complete prompts is particularly valuable, as it's an artistic choice that many creators hesitate to share openly.

As a beginner in MidJourney, I struggled to create the style of images I envisioned and felt lost with keyword usage. This led me to create this website for sref codes and examples with prompts, aimed at helping newcomers easily generate high-quality images and find joy in their creative process.

There are many Midjourney Sref galleries online, but promptsref.com is my go-to resource. If you're looking for a comprehensive collection of Midjourney Srefs, this is the only website you need.
