ㄈㄨ fū
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
Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
A married man in relation to his wife. The single character also means an adult man in general.
Before you commit
Choose with care夫 alone often just means man, and in compounds it can mean a workman. Without a second character it does not clearly say my husband.
JapaneseThe same glyph is used in Japanese, read otto for husband and fu in compounds, so it will not read as specifically Chinese.
At small sizesFour strokes, wide and open. Very safe small, though its width suits a horizontal placement better than a narrow one.
Meaning
Husband; also a grown man, and a labourer in older usage.
The character inside every word for husband, and the shortest form.

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.
