In the context of the image you described, if the drawing is in one color with many different shades, the use of "symmetrical balance" might not apply unless the figures are arranged in a perfectly symmetrical way. Since you mentioned a man and a woman walking next to each other, the arrangement may not necessarily exhibit symmetry.

Thus, the principle that could be noted as not used in this image is:

symmetrical balance.
