Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of rough expressionism and printmaking art. It employs stark black and white contrasts with simplified lines, reminiscent of woodcut prints combined with sketching. The style evokes an intersection between traditional woodblock printing and modern expressionist illustration, conveying strong emotions through bold strokes and exaggerated contours.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristic of these images is their rough and expressive linework that creates a handcrafted feel. The black ink-like lines contrast sharply with the beige background, creating a raw and authentic artistic quality. The lines appear to be quickly and spontaneously drawn, with a deliberate imperfection and roughness that adds to their charm. Touches of orange and yellow add warmth, making the overall style both powerful and emotionally resonant.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Sketch style: Emphasizes the hand-drawn quality and natural flow of lines, enhancing the artistic nature and expressiveness of the work
  • Woodcut print: Strengthens the black and white contrast and the rough texture of the lines, bringing more powerful visual impact
  • Urban graffiti: Incorporates the spontaneity and energy of street art, making the work more contemporary and rebellious in spirit

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for independent music album covers, literary work illustrations, motivational posters, and youth culture-related designs. It's also excellent for expressing strong emotions or conveying profound messages, such as social commentary illustrations, poetry book imagery, or personal brand identities. The style communicates rich emotions and thoughts through simplicity, making it ideal for creators who want their work to have originality and a handcrafted feel.

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

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.
