his image is a tutorial on how to draw eyes that look like they are looking to the side. it explains that one needs to compress the eye when drawing it from the side view.  the tutorial demonstrates how to achieve this by making the eye more ovalshaped at the edges, rather than round.  it also suggests further exaggerating a sideways look by thinning or breaking the eyeline where it touches the eye. the tutorial shows examples of different levels of exaggeration, from subtle thinning for a more realistic style to a more distinct break in the line for a more cartoonish style.  the overall style of the tutorial is cartoonish and friendly.
