First thing I do is draw the skin - borders, buttons progress and scrollbars, etc. - then cut the pieces out and build the image files. I use Photoshop but you can use PSP, the Gimp, Photopaint or Fireworks (even MS Paint) whatever you're currently using for drawing - they all work fine.
Then make a UIS file in Notepad (the WB UIS-2 help file will show what values you need to include). Look in a skin's folder to see what the various files look like.

We're working on a guide to make that easier right now.
Your first step would be to get SkinStudio - www.skinstudio.net.
Feel free to ask me any questions or give feedback on how to make this process easier.
