Honestly I don't know why people do this. Why make your self-insert look like plain old you, when they could be based on what you wish you looked like, and nobody would ever know?

Because it lets them think that the way they are is attractive enough to get the attention of their favs?

I'm an artist, in my teenage years I drew a lot of self-inserty characters and didn't realize it until much later. I guess I just lived in a small world revolving around myself and my art did a good job reflecting that. :X

Not a lot of beginning artists use reference photos of real people to make their OCs. They might copy faces that they hold to be ideal, but in practice (if they practice), when drawing from imagination, using their own face as reference for expressions tends to be easiest. They don't even need to be looking at a mirror, it just so happens that certain proportions might feel right because of the face they see most often.
