That's not literally possible, and not really a good idea anyway.
It's not possible because each request looks completely independent
from the server's perspective. You can look at the referer URL, but
that doesn't guarantee anything. It's not a good idea because you are
better off recording complete logs and then using a log analysis
program to extract what you need.

But if what you are looking for is just to exclude .gif/.jpg/.css from
your logs entirely, you can do it using something like

SetEnvIf Request_URI \.(?i:gif|jpe?g|css)$ nolog
and then modify your Customlog line to look something like
CustomLog logs/access_log combined env=!nolog
