Art Style Type

This SREF style blends watercolor illustration with storybook art aesthetics. It combines the freshness of Japanese illustration with the warm textures of European fairy tale picture books. The style evokes the dreamlike quality of Hayao Miyazaki animations merged with the nostalgic charm of traditional children's book illustrations, creating something both airy and emotionally resonant.

Style Characteristics

These images share a soft, delicate watercolor quality with warm, translucent colors and fluid, natural linework. Particularly noteworthy are the light brushstrokes and semi-transparent color layering that create a dreamy, misty atmosphere. Backgrounds are minimalist yet evocative, character expressions are rich and lively, and the overall presentation conveys a poetic take on everyday moments and warm emotional connections. This style is impressive because it perfectly balances technical skill with emotional expression, achieving artistic merit without sacrificing approachability.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Watercolor rendering: Enhances the lightness and transparency of the images, making colors softer and more layered
  • Hand-drawn texture: Reinforces the artistic quality and unique charm of human brushwork, reducing digital generation traces
  • Warm color palette: Elevates the emotional temperature of the image, creating a more inviting and comfortable visual experience

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, healing-themed game art, emotional greeting card designs, literary work illustrations, lifestyle app interface decorations, and brand identity designs that need to convey warmth and innocence. It effectively evokes nostalgia and warmth in viewers, making it ideal for any creative context that aims to create an intimate, dreamy atmosphere.

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

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.
