Когда я открываю альбом, мне сразу хочется сделать ещё один быстрый рисунок карандашом.

Yes — and Russian does the same here.

Когда я открываю альбом means when I open the album / whenever I open the album.
The present tense in Russian can describe:

• a repeated action
• a habitual situation
• something that generally happens

So this sentence is not about one single moment only. It suggests a recurring pattern: every time the speaker opens the album, the same feeling appears.

Also, открываю is imperfective, which fits this repeated/general meaning very naturally.

Because открываю is the imperfective present form, while открою is perfective and usually refers to a single completed future act.

Compare:

• Когда я открываю альбом... = When/Whenever I open the album...
  (habitual, repeated)
• Когда я открою альбом... = When I open the album...
  (one future occasion)

In your sentence, the speaker means a repeated reaction, so открываю is the natural choice.

Because Когда я открываю альбом is a subordinate clause introduced by когда (when).

Russian normally separates this kind of clause with a comma:

• Когда я открываю альбом, мне сразу хочется...

This is very standard Russian punctuation.

It actually is in the accusative case, but for an inanimate masculine noun like альбом, the accusative singular looks the same as the nominative singular.

So:

• nominative: альбом
• accusative: альбом

Since открывать takes a direct object, альбом here is accusative.

A similar example:

• Я читаю журнал. = I am reading a magazine.

The form does not change because the noun is masculine singular and inanimate.

This is one of the most common questions learners ask.

Both can be translated with I want, but they are not exactly the same:

• я хочу = I want
• мне хочется = I feel like / I have the urge to / I’m tempted to

So мне хочется sounds softer, more spontaneous, and more emotional. It often describes an inner impulse rather than a clear, deliberate intention.

In this sentence, that nuance fits very well: opening the album gives the speaker an immediate urge to draw.

Мне is the dative case of я.

The structure мне хочется is impersonal. Literally, it is something like:

• to me, it is desired
• or more naturally: I feel like it

So the experiencer is put in the dative:

• мне хочется = I feel like
• ему хочется = he feels like
• нам хочется = we feel like

This is a very common Russian pattern with feelings and states.

Yes. Хочется comes from хотеться, which is related to хотеть.

A useful way to think about it:

• хотеть = to want
• хотеться = to feel like / to have a desire arise

So:

• Я хочу рисовать. = I want to draw.
• Мне хочется рисовать. = I feel like drawing.

The -ся form here often gives the sense that the feeling happens to the person, rather than being stated as a direct decision.

Сразу means immediately / right away / at once.

So:

• мне сразу хочется... = I immediately feel like...

It emphasizes how quickly the urge appears after opening the album.

Without сразу, the sentence would still make sense, but it would lose that sense of instant reaction.

Because сделать is perfective, and here the speaker means to make one complete drawing.

Compare:

• сделать рисунок = to make/do a drawing as a completed result
• делать рисунок = to be making a drawing / to work on drawing

Since the phrase includes ещё один (one more), Russian naturally prefers the perfective: the speaker feels like producing one more finished sketch.

So сделать ещё один быстрый рисунок means something like to do one more quick drawing.

Ещё один means one more / another.

In this sentence:

• сделать ещё один быстрый рисунок = to make one more quick drawing

It suggests there was already at least one drawing before, and now the speaker wants to do an additional one.

A helpful breakdown:

• ещё = still / more / another, depending on context
• один = one

Together, ещё один often works like English another or one more.

Because быстрый is an adjective modifying the noun рисунок.

• быстрый = quick
• рисунок = drawing

So быстрый рисунок means a quick drawing.

Russian adjectives agree with the noun in gender, number, and case. Here:

• быстрый = masculine singular accusative/nominative form
• рисунок = masculine singular inanimate

You would not use быстро here because быстро is an adverb, meaning quickly, and adverbs modify verbs, not nouns.

Compare:

• быстрый рисунок = a quick drawing
• быстро рисовать = to draw quickly

Карандашом is the instrumental case of карандаш (pencil).

Russian often uses the instrumental to show the tool or means by which something is done:

• писать ручкой = to write with a pen
• резать ножом = to cut with a knife
• рисовать карандашом = to draw with a pencil

So рисунок карандашом means a pencil drawing or more literally a drawing done with a pencil.

In this context, альбом often means a sketchbook, drawing pad, or album/notebook for drawings, depending on context.

A direct English-looking translation as album can be misleading, because English album usually makes people think of music or photos.

In Russian, альбом can mean:

• a photo album
• a drawing/sketch album
• a notebook-like album for creative work

Since the sentence talks about making a drawing, learners will usually understand альбом here as something like sketchbook.

Like альбом, рисунок is also an inanimate masculine singular noun, so its accusative form is identical to its nominative form.

So:

• nominative: рисунок
• accusative: рисунок

Since it is the direct object of сделать, it is accusative — it just happens to look unchanged.

Yes. Russian word order is flexible, although not completely free.

The original order:

• Когда я открываю альбом, мне сразу хочется сделать ещё один быстрый рисунок карандашом.

sounds natural and neutral.

You could move things around for emphasis, for example:

• Когда я открываю альбом, сразу хочется сделать ещё один быстрый рисунок карандашом.
  (drops мне because it is understood in an impersonal style)
• Мне сразу хочется сделать ещё один быстрый рисунок карандашом, когда я открываю альбом.
  (puts the main feeling first)

But the original version is a very good standard model for learners.

In this sentence, feel like making is usually the best match.

• мне хочется сделать... = I feel like making...
• or I suddenly want to make...

The nuance is important: it is not just a planned intention, but an urge or impulse. That is exactly why хочется works so well here.

So if you want to sound natural in English, I immediately feel like doing one more quick pencil sketch is often a better match than a plain I want to.
