Ilustrasi (sketches) di atas diambil daripada blog JaafarTaib.com dan bukannya yang aku sendiri ambil. Kiranya kalau aku dedahkan di ruangan ini bukanlah satu kesalahan. Sebahagian dari perbualan kami berkisarkan cerita di atas yang telah pun siap ilustrasi lengkapnya dengan warna & ekspresi watak-watak yang amat mengkagumkan. Dengan penuh rapi digambarkan setiap karakter dan latar belakang dengan tekstur yang maha hebat. Patutlah peminatnya menggelarkan Pak Jaafar " The Legend Himself".

Berikut adalah petikan daripada blog Pak Jaafar berkaitan buku & animasi terbarunya:

"Baby Elephant(title unconfirmed) is a new folklore book I’m currently making. Its a story about a baby elephant’s adventure to travel troughout the Malaysian forest, finding a sanctuary for animals. This is a step-by-step record on how I paint the illustration. This is for the page 56 and 57, where the baby elephant and fellow monkey meet with a group of bears, and together they perform a ‘dikir barat’ to celebrate flower season. Notice how some of them are injured after a great honey hunt.

So here’s step 1, this a sketching of how the layout of the page will be. This is where the whole book’s worth of planning is. This is made with pen on my free time. After some alteration, I choose this layout, scene, and camera angle. This is step 1, not a preparation or planning. This is just as important as the other steps and should be treated as such."
