in the magnitude of the anger.
Clenching the jaw starts to bring the
corners of the mouth down.
In reality, tension around the brows
prevents the eyes from opening
wide. However, opening them wide
is effective in expressing anger as it
makes the pupils seem smaller and
builds on the sensation of rage.

Depicting expressions in different situations
There are various ways to depict anger depending on the situation. Here, we use caricaturized
eyes and symbolic expression as examples.

Irritation
Irritation often accompanies other negative emotions, such as anger, panic and unease,
swirling around in the mind before manifesting themselves physically. If no other person
is present in the situation, it may resemble an annoyed expression, while if others are
present it may come across as a slight glare.
The basic expression involves wrinkles forming between the brows and the eyes and the
brows drawing closer together in a frown. Anger is being stored up, with the jaw clenching
unconsciously and tension forming around the mouth.

Variations
Getting into a huff
This expression of discomfort appears only for an instant after
hearing or seeing something that provokes anger.
Laughing while angry
This expression shows a laughing or smiling face
being taken over by pent-up anger. It is often used
as a humorous device.

Rage
An expression of rage can contain an edge of threat to it. In order to convey that sense
of aggression, the expression is often drawn in an overly exaggerated manner. In some
cases, the expression turns inward, if the character is displeased or angry with himself.
Raising the brows and eyes is a standard expression of rage. The severity or intensity of the rage
varies depending on how wide the mouth is open. Creating the look of a slightly clenched jaw
evokes the impression of anger that is still but barely being suppressed.
