There are 11 Dylan’s Sketchbook scenes across seven regions in Control Resonant. For each one, find the scene, use its eye marker to reveal nearby props, restore the pictured arrangement, then inspect and draw the page. Complete all 11 to unlock the Work-Life Balance trophy. The locations and prop solutions below follow the PowerPyx walkthrough, with the scene count and regional spread also listed by AllThingsHow.
How Dylan’s Sketchbook scenes work
As you approach a scene, look for its question-mark secret marker. Inspect the eye marker to reveal nearby pieces on the minimap. Collect and place the props in the arrangement described for that scene, then inspect and draw the completed page.
After completing at least one entry, you can track progress at Archives > Collectibles > Dylan’s Sketchbook. Use the prompt displayed in your game; button prompts can vary by platform.
All 11 locations and prop arrangements
1. Beach Day — Downtown
At the northeast construction site, near the “Lookout Point” map label and the “A New You Awaits” sign, place the beach chair or chairs on the blue tarp and set the umbrella behind them.

Some locations depend on traversal abilities or story progress. The Jesse Sightings questline includes The Incursion Fault, The Subway Fault, and The Underpass Fault; the walkthrough recommends returning after progressing the story, when you have the needed traversal options. Reach is specifically needed for Rooftop Oasis and Halloween Party. Art Exhibition may require Shift to reach the correct gravity version, while Game Night’s route opens through Pope’s Research.
