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

Companionship among people who share something. Chinese splits this between friendship and the church group, and they are different words.

Before you commit

Choose with care誼 does not stand alone in modern Chinese. It is understood, but a reader will expect a character in front of it, and alone it looks like half a word.

At small sizesFifteen strokes with a speech radical on the left. Moderately dense, so keep the right side open when inking small.

Cultural noteIf you mean fellowship in the church sense, 團契 is the word, and Chinese Christians use it for their small groups. It will not be read as ordinary friendship.

Meaning

Friendship; the bond and good feeling between people.

The character in 友誼 and 情誼, and the closest single one to fellowship.

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.
