It's true that many people will prefer to just look at traditional representations of beauty. I definitely enjoy glamorous portraits by artists like Sargent or Mucha as well, and in a sense, starting with a beautiful subject means that half of your work is done for you.

But it isn't the only way to see other people, or to see yourself. (It helps that I disconnected the need to render / understand beauty from the need to embody it within myself, at least.)
