Sir I saw the image on telegram, hope I understand the question, One way is-
Steps:
  1. Convert RGB to Gray
  2. Gray Image to Binary with adjusting threshold value (As minimum as possible), so that only lines are remain.
  3. Consider the binary image as mask, and fill the pixels region in original image as per your requiremnts.
  4. You may apply the average filter to smooth the image on lines and non lines area.
3rd Step:
GrayImage(mask)=pixel_val; choose any pix_val, which is pixel value near equal to non lines region.
