check the sites under scripting (3 of 4 are skin turorials rather than scripting tutorials)

ignore rhinotrip's scripting specs if you want, you don't need scripting unless you want animations in your skins

and do the usual stuff: open existing skins and look how others have done it

you want to use a graphics program with layers for png alpha transparency support:
www.adobe.com photoshop
www.jasc.com psp
www.gimp.org/win32/ gimp

actually, it doesn't have to be harder than for wa2x at all!
it all depends on how you would like to skin to look...
