The word 'scowling' is the present participle, present tense of the verb to scowl, meaning to frown or to make an angry face.

The present participle of the verb also functions as an adjective and a gerund, a verbal noun.

Examples:

I saw my mother scowling at something on the TV. (verb)

As I reached over to pick up the toddler, his scowling face turned into a smile. (adjective, describes the noun 'face')

Those lines in your face will become permanent from scowling all the time. (noun, object of the preposition 'from')
