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.
Where a body lies. Chinese distinguishes the earth mound from the plot and its marker.
Before you commit
Choose with care墳 names a mound of earth. It is a flat physical word with no consoling overtone, and Chinese readers find it bleak standing alone.
At small sizesFifteen strokes, earth radical beside a busy right half. Not a small-scale character - the right side clogs quickly.
Cultural noteAt 清明 families sweep and repair their dead's graves - 掃墓, tomb-sweeping. That is where these characters appear in ordinary life.
Meaning
A grave; the raised mound of earth over a burial.
The mound specifically - what you see standing in a field.

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.
