1.4 Making images in Midjourney and Nano Banana · Lesson 4 of 7

Style & Consistency

Lock in a look — and keep the same character across a whole set of images.

Technique10 min

The big idea

One-off images are easy; the trick is making a set that belongs together. Style references let you carry one consistent look across many images, and character consistency keeps the same person or creature recognisable from scene to scene. And a single subject can be rendered in dozens of mediums — from woodcut to watercolour — just by asking.

Key insight: References are how you go from lucky one-offs to a consistent, professional-looking body of work.

Same look, same character

A style reference holds the mood steady; the explorer is the same character across different scenes; and one pear becomes any medium you like.
