In terms of learning skin production, I suggest looking at several of the existing skins to see how others do it. While essentially a skin is nothing more than a single HTML page with PmWiki "hooks" and CSS, prior examples are a good start.
As for learning design and some CSS, www.csszengarden.com/ is a great place to go. The submissions are all based on remarking the exact same HTML page. This shows the power of CSS as well as some neat tricks. As for designing your own, I would recommend first coding a very basic HTML structure sans CSS. You'll end up with a very unappealing page. Then, use CSS to shape the page (adding width and float to divs, etc.). Finally, add color, etc. I would suggest you be prepared to create two CSS stylesheets, one for media=screen and another for media=print. As far as learning CSS, I would suggest googling about to find the CSS resource you are comfortable with. I found a couple or three that helped me early on. Finally, feel free to experiment and throw away your style sheet. Once you have a skin HTML you're happy with, the CSS can come and go.
