Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of fairy tale illustration, pop art, and modern watercolor painting. It possesses the naivety of children's book illustrations while demonstrating professional artistic skill through bold color choices and composition. The images have both the fluidity of hand-painted watercolors and the simplified characteristics of graphic design, reminiscent of a hybrid between Japanese illustration and European folk art.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is the vibrant, saturated color contrasts and lively brushwork. Colors are energetic and eclectic, ranging from bright yellows and oranges to deep blues, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere. The lines appear casual yet expressive, with loose and natural brushstrokes giving a sense of free-flowing movement. Compositions are simplified yet dynamic, expressing complex emotions through concise forms. This style is impressive because it maintains childlike innocence while demonstrating mature artistic sensibility.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Watercolor illustration: Enhances the fluid quality and transparent texture of colors, adding natural hand-painted charm and depth to the image
  • Vibrant palette: Strengthens emotional expression and visual impact, making the work more energetic and playful
  • Outline strokes: Reinforces the graphic quality, making image elements more prominent and adding a friendly hand-drawn journal feel

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for children's book illustrations, lifestyle brand visual design, emotional-themed social media content, café or artistic space decorative art, mental health or self-care themed application interfaces, and warm-themed greeting cards and gift packaging design. It effectively conveys cozy, positive, and approachable emotions, making it ideal for creative projects that aim to establish emotional connections.

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.
