Control Resonant Dylan’s Sketchbook All 11 Locations, Props, and Work Life Balance Trophy

---

Dylan’s Sketchbook is one of Control Resonant’s collectible side activities, but it works differently from a typical collectible hunt. Instead of simply picking up an item, each Sketchbook location contains a partially destroyed or unfinished scene that you need to reconstruct by bringing in the props to the scene. 

Once the scene is completed, you get the Draw prompt to finish the activity. There are 11 such scenes in Dylan’s Sketchbooks, and none of them are missable. Completing the entire set is required for the Work-Life Balance silver trophy and achievement.
