Theming for Drupal is not actually as hard as you may think. Certainly there are more advanced areas of theming possible with Drupal, which may or may not be necessary depending on the needs of your site or whether there are subtle defaults which you wish to change (and which you can learn about if and when they become necessary for your site). Creating the "overall theme" for your site though is very simple.
A Drupal theme is nothing more than a standard website layout, with a few bits of PHP code added in certain places, which you can simply copy/paste into place in order to call up Drupal's "dynamic" content and features in those spots.
If you learn better visually, a video is available which covers much of the same information that will be illustrated here: Static Theme Conversion.
Contributed/downloaded themes are more complex than "your" theme needs to be
You may have looked at various pre-made themes that either come with Drupal core or are available for download, and sighed with frustration upon seeing their code. To some, the code looks very confusing.
