Control Resonant Sketchbook Drawing Solutions

Vlad Susanu, Map Master’s chief editor and mapper, staged and drew all 11, and the Control Resonant activity maps for every zone cover the scenes outside Downtown. The questions players get stuck on are how the puzzle works, which scenes need more than legwork, and why a drawing won’t finish.

How to Solve a Sketchbook Drawing: Focus, Gather, Place, Draw

Every scene follows the same four steps. Focus on the setting to start it, pick up each prop nearby, put it on a highlighted spot, then focus again so Dylan draws it. Drawing before everything is placed does nothing, and the props are nearly always in the same building, rooftop, or yard as the setting.

The props are close, but a few are hidden on purpose. In several scenes one piece waits on a higher level, like a balcony, an overhead structure, or an upper roof, or in a side room. Live on Stage spreads across two rooms of the Collector’s Apartment, which the Central map of the Collector’s Apartment places in the southwest.

Sketchbook Drawings by Difficulty: Two Props to Six

Beach Day needs two props and Cat Picnic three, so both are quick wins early in the game. Halloween Party and Art Exhibition take four, while Live on Stage, Cool Robot, and Spaceship Landing take five, and the Evacuation Zone map of the southern warehouse puts Cool Robot’s parts on three levels.

Four scenes need six props: Dream House, Birdwatcher’s Paradise, Game Night, and the Dragon. The Dragon is the odd one out, built around a large mold instead of furniture or a stage, and the Park map of the Park Valley Station platforms places that underground scene.

Sketchbook Drawings That Need Shift or Late-Game Access

Birdwatcher’s Paradise is on a rooftop you can only reach with Shift, east of Downtown’s West Supply Route Station. Game Night and Art Exhibition are in the Unknown, and Game Night also needs props from nearby shops and progress in Pope’s Research, one of the late side quests, so the Unknown map of the southeastern construction site is a late stop.

Spaceship Landing is on a stone pillar near the Halfway Trail Fast Travel Door, and the Underpass map of the Halfway Trail pillars shows the climb. Halloween Party opens as soon as you cross the West Incursion Zone Checkpoint, and the West Incursion Zone map of the Checkpoint rooftops has the roof just north of it.

Sketchbook Drawing Rewards and Why a Scene Won’t Finish

Each drawing gives an Undefined Reading and a page, and four pages are titled differently from the scene that unlocks them, which the Dylan’s Sketchbook page list matches up. All 11 add up to the Work-Life Balance sketchbook trophy, and Undefined Readings also come from the Freeze Camera side activity.

If the final drawing won’t trigger, a prop is missing or off its spot. Walk around the scene and check that every highlight is filled, since one piece left on a balcony or in a side room is the usual cause. No scene is missable, because every zone stays open after the credits.

Sketchbook Drawing Locations: 11 Scenes in Seven Zones

There are 11 Sketchbook Drawings: two each in Downtown, Central, the Evacuation Zone, and the Unknown, and one each in the West Incursion Zone, The Park, and the Underpass. Together they use 52 props, and only Birdwatcher’s Paradise and Game Night have a requirement beyond reaching their zone.

Do Beach Day, Cat Picnic, and Live on Stage first, since those three use ten props between them and need nothing but the early game. Pick up the rest zone by zone as the story opens them, and leave Game Night for last, since it’s the one scene that depends on a side quest.
