Overview
If you've never created any Body Shop content before, you should start with clothing. There are two main sets of tutorials that will help you begin creating clothing. If you are using the GIMP, a free graphics editor, you should use the Gimp tutorials. If you are using Photoshop or other higher-end graphics editors, you should be able to follow Faylen's series of skinning tutorials.
Whenever you first do a tutorial, you should do the exact same project they show you, exactly as they tell you to do it. This way you can be sure you're doing your first project correctly. When you finish each tutorial, experiment with the techniques you have learned, trying something similar, a project of your own, before moving on to the next tutorial.
