It depends as there are many ways to draw a bow. There are three main answers, 2 fingered, 3 fingered, and then with a mechanical release. [I use three fingers, but every person is different].

Bow it, meaning to draw a bow across the strings.
When you draw back the bow you anchor your fingers that are holding the string and arrow to your cheek or corner of your lip. So the anchor would be a part of your face, usually the corner of lip.
The initial phase of drawing is hard until the let off phase of the bow comes into operation making it easier. When the bow is at full draw the holding weight will be much less than the weight delivered to the arrow. The gain in mechanical advantage when drawin and holding the bow is due to the pulleys or cams used in the bow.
The Bow hand, the other is called the draw hand.
