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.

Same in both

Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
A female child. There is no single Chinese character that means daughter and nothing else.
Before you commit
Choose with careDo not wear 女 alone for daughter. It reads as woman or female — the same character that marks a public toilet door.
Cultural note掌上明珠, the pearl held in the palm, is what a beloved daughter is called. 千金 is the polite form and belongs to talk about other people's families.
At small sizesEleven strokes over two narrow characters. They stack well vertically and keep their shape at small scale.
Meaning

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.
