Theoretically you mix every color together in an equal amount to make the color black, since black is the presence of all colors.

Practically, you don't make black. It is, to my knowledge, impossible to make black through mixing. If you try you will end up making a really dark mud color. There are two solutions to this problem:

  1. Buy black. Whatever you are using, paint or pencil or markers, probably comes in black.
  2. Avoid using black. You may not need black, and you may make a better piece of art without it. If you look carefully, shadows aren't actually black, they're a shade of the color of the surface they fall on, plus a bit of the complementary color. Realistically portraying most things can be done without black.
