Angry Emoticon
We will now create the well known instant messenger emoticon. You can find it it programs like Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, and more. You will now create it yourself.
Open a new document, 400×400px, and fill it in with black.
Create a new layer.
Select ((Elliptical Marquee Tool)) and, pressing ALT + Shift, create a perfect circumference.
In the color palette, select orange and a light yellow. Select ((gradient tool)), ((Radial Gradient)) and apply a gradient as shown in the following image.
You can also apply a ((Stroke)) to the face.
Create a ((new layer)), draw an oval which will be the eye of the emoticon. FIll it in with a gradient from grey to white. Inside the oval, create another circumference and paint it with black. Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J) and place it to the other side. The eyes will be created.

You just need to draw the mouth. You can use ((Pen Tool)) or activate the selection of the face by pressing control + click and, also pressing shift, remove a circular selection. Fill it in with black. Once you have done this, you will see the mouth is quite big. With ((Free Transform)) (Ctrl + T), reduce the size until it looks coherent.
Finally, you have to create the eyebrows so that it looks angry.
Simply work in a ((new layer)) and, with ((Lazo Poligonal)), draw the first one. Fill it in with black. Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J) and go to ((Edit))-((Transform))-((Flip Horizontal)).
