CH doesn't have any inherent art tools. You can import different images and combine them, but the experience isn't really optimized for that. I would definitely recommend getting Photoshop or Illustrator to make puppets.

You don't, however, need either to view any of the sample puppets at http://adobe.com/go/chexamples or http://okaysamurai.com/puppets/.
