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.

Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
What a person is actually made of, as shown by conduct rather than claims.
Before you commit
Choose with care品 alone reads as grade or quality, and as the verb to taste or savour. It is used of tea and goods at least as often as of people, so it can look commercial.
Pairs well with人品 means a person's character and is the phrase used in everyday judgement of someone; 品格 is the more formal equivalent.
At small sizesNine strokes in three mouths, a clean and symmetrical shape. It scales down unusually well.
Meaning
Moral quality; the grade of a person as well as of a thing.
The character behind most Chinese words for personal quality.

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.
