A comment on Autodraw – Fast Drawing for Everyone.

It's not a drawing tool. It's a search engine for clip art. That's very Google.

This may be the answer for how to enter emoji. There are now over 2600 emoji, with more to come. Keyboard selection isn't working and menus are huge.

Android Wear can already do this.

On iOS I just write the emoji name and it appears in the suggestions. Much, much easier than trying to draw it.

In Google Docs, the interface to enter a special character has a 'draw it' mode...

On iOS there's a Google keyboard that has a emoji search built in.

Gboard is on Android too, and the swyping is excellent for those who use that.
