feast

宴

ㄧㄢˋ yàn

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.

Characters

Layout

A large formal meal laid on for an occasion. In Chinese this is a banquet with guests and rank, not a big dinner at home.

Before you commit

Choose with care宴 means a hosted formal banquet with invitations and seating order. It does not mean feasting in the sense of eating heartily - that is closer to 飽 or simply 大吃.

JapaneseJapanese reads this glyph utage, a banquet or drinking party, with much the same meaning. It will not read as specifically Chinese.

At small sizesTen strokes under a roof radical with a stacked base. Reasonably clean small, though the lower half needs a little room.

Meaning

A banquet or formal feast; to entertain guests at table.

The standard word for a wedding banquet or a business dinner.

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.
