WordPress Theme Development - workflow?

Hi. What's the best way to proceed to create a new theme to WordPress?

I understand I should create the PSD layout, build HTML + CSS for it and then substitute the appropriate parts with the WP tags to make it dynamic. There are also the 'Stater Themes', like Underscores or Bones, but they confuse me.

Other than that, in the case of creating Child Themes, the best way to go is tweaking style.css directly or you want to have a PSD layout as a reference first?

How you guys proceed?

Thanks.
