composure

靜

ㄐㄧㄥˋ jìng

Two versions of the same picture, and both are free with no account and no watermark. The first has no background at all, which is the one to send your artist — but a phone or computer photo viewer set to dark will show black strokes on dark grey and it can look like nothing downloaded. If that happens, use the second one: identical characters on a plain white background. Either way you get the characters on their own — the square and the faint guide lines you see above are not in the file. Each character is 1000px, so a two-character download is 2000×1000, and the script and layout are the ones you picked.

Script

Characters

Layout

Staying level when the situation does not, and letting it show in how you carry yourself.

Before you commit

Choose with care靜 covers quiet as well as calm and is used of a silent room as readily as of a person. If you specifically mean not panicking, 沉著 says that and 靜 does not.

Pairs well with冷靜 means cool and level-headed and is the everyday word people use when telling someone to keep their head.

At small sizesSixteen strokes split evenly. It is busy but structurally clear: workable at moderate size, and below roughly three centimetres it fills in.

Meaning

Still, calm, quiet; undisturbed inside and out.

The central character for calm in both meditative and everyday senses.

What to do next

Pick the script and layout you want above, download the PNG, and send that file to your artist. Ask them to work from the file rather than redrawing the character freehand — that is where strokes go missing.
