ㄑㄧㄢ qiān
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
Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
Not claiming more than your share. Chinese tradition ranks this very high.
Before you commit
Choose with care謙 is safe and well regarded, but do not substitute 虛 alone: by itself it reads as empty, hollow or false rather than humble.
Pairs well with謙虛 is the standard word for humble. 虛心 means open to being taught.
At small sizesSeventeen strokes: a speech radical plus a packed right side. This needs a large placement.
Meaning
Modest, humble, deferring.
The classical virtue of understating your own worth.

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.
