Control Resonant: All Sketchbook Locations

Control Resonant: All Sketchbook Locations

Written by Walter Xavier - 3rd October 2026

The supernatural city of Control Resonant is full of side quests, activities, and secrets that will have you entertained for many hours. One of these secrets is a sketchbook that Dylan can use to draw certain scenes across the city. These sketchbook locations can only be found by exploring each zone in the game, with a total of 11.

While it can sound like a hard task to look around such an open world for specific scenes, don't worry; in this guide we'll show exactly where you can find all of these and complete the sketchbook.

Note: The puzzle piece locations will appear on your minimap once you reach the sketch area.

Quick Links:

Downtown Sketches

Beach Day

There are two sketches available in the first zone you can explore, Downtown. The first sketch you can find here is the Beach Day sketch. This one is located in Lookout Point, right where some construction is underway. Place the umbrella in the back and chairs in the front as shown in the picture to complete the sketch.

Rooftop Oasis

The next one is located on the rooftop close to the West Supply Room Station. For this one, you need to place the plants in the white rocks and the ducks in the dirt patches.

Central Sketches

The Cat Picnic

You will find the first sketch of the Central zone close to the Field Office Station. For Dylan to start sketching this one, simply allocate the cat figures to the back, and the basket in front.

Live on Stage

This secret can be found inside the Collector's Apartment. If you are doing The Complete Set quest, you will have to visit this building as an objective anyway. Here, place the microphone in the middle, the blue bass in the right stand, and the brown guitar on the left.

West Incursion Zone Sketch

Halloween Party

Close to the West Incursion Zone Checkpoint, you'll find the sketch of that area at the end of the Checkpoint's street on a rooftop. For the order, follow the already placed figures: pumpkins in the front, skeletons in the middle, and ghosts in the back to complete the sketch.

Evacuation Zone Sketches

Dream House

You'll want to Fast Travel to the Door close to the Railyard Street Station for the first Evacuation Zone sketch. There, you will find a construction site with a small playhouse-like structure on the top floor. To complete the sketch, place the pets on the front, the grey panel on top, the small plant on the left, and the large one on the right side.

Robotics

Then, travel to the other side of the Zone. Near the Survivalist's Bunker, continue to the south end of the street to find the warehouse where the sketch will be located. There's a door on the rooftop from which you can enter. Decorate the vending machine as if it were a robot to complete the sketch: the light as the head, curved pipes as arms, and the T-like pipes as the legs.

The Park Sketch

The Dragon and the Knight

You will discover this sketch inside the Park Valley Station subway. It's a big piece of mold that Dylan transforms into a dragon-like figure. Place the cones on top, the box on the front, and the fences on the side.

Underpass Sketch

Space Adventure

Dylan's creativity keeps growing with each sketch into bigger ones. For the Underpass, you will find the sketch in the structure close to the one marked as "Research Site?" Place the flag on the box in the center, the device in the yellow X mark, the humans around the flag, and the alien figurine in the more distant box.

Unknown

Art Exhibition

In the final zone, Unknown, head north of the Fast Travel Door in the central islet to find the Könstig gallery. Inside the gallery, place the objects in the stands that match their sizes. From left to right, place the sphere in the first one, the toilet in the biggest stand, the next small object, and the vacuum on the last one.

Game Night

For the final sketch, you will need to head to the southeast structure of the Unknown, the one to the right of the Evac Building. You can reach this structure by following Pope's quest "Pope's Research" that drops the Gravity Wells. They should be marked on your map with the balloons icon.

Once there, head to the construction site and you will find the sketch on the bottom floor. This one is one of the most complicated ones since you need to go outside the site to find some of the items in stores. But no worries, they will all be marked on your minimap. Place the small figurines in the center of the table, the pizza to the left, the candle on the right, and the mannequin on the side of the table.

Completing all sketches will reward you with the Unfinished Lollipop artifact and the Work-Life Balance achievement.
