Where to look when spinning on axis?

Hey guys, i've noticed a lot now after watching tons of videos that a big part of doing tricks is being able to spot the landing throughout the trick. Like, when you cork 7 you look at the landing 80% of the time, making the trick a bit easier.

My question is, well, were do you look when you are spinning on-axis? Like, regular 720s? Would you look to the side your spinning to and wait for the landing to apear?

Look straight ahead?

Look down?

I'm confused

Generally speaking with on axis stuff you just want to keep your eyes up. When they drop, that's what moves the head plus whatever else to send you off axis.
