That's a problem a lot of artists have. The "unattractive" characters sometimes don't really look that much different from the "attractive" ones. Particularly when they're main characters. People just prefer drawing (and looking at) attractive stuff most of the time, but it can really being you out of the story when a character does not at all look how the story/characters say they look.
That's why it's cool when artists go the extra mile to make their characters look scary (Angel Densetsu) or plain/unattractive (Bouquet for an Ugly Girl).
