As you start into the turn, the bike should be headed towards the apex of the corner.....the half way point of the turn. As you pass the apex of that corner you can slowly start applying the throttle again and let it run "wide" towards the outside of the lane again. The whole purpose of this is to "straighten out" the corner as much as possible, which will allow you to go faster through the corner. Doing it like you posted has the exact opposite affect.
And sometimes give an added cushion for running wide or time to close the throttle and stay on the pavement.
