We’re starting the week with a new Midjourney style reference full of personality: --sref 2455635434 It’s a pencil and ink illustration style with loose, expressive linework, very close to dark cartoon sketchbook and naïve creepy illustration. It has strong ties to Tim Burton’s drawing phase (not 3D), Edward Gorey (but more cartoonish), and a darker Quentin Blake vibe. This style is perfect for macabre children’s picture books and dark naïve outsider art 🖤
