1. SO you mean, if I use your guys partying [possessive+gerund], it does not work. I should use you guys partying right??
2. IS it the same case as "I saw him drawing the picture."

Yes, the meaning is the same, but that is less natural. If it were "guys" instead of "you guys", your relative clause would be fine. :wink:
