from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
This is my urls.py file code.
I am not sure but have you tried running
python manage.py collectstatic
before initiating the server. As you have mentioned document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT
in urlpatterns, you must collect static files in staticfiles folder inside your parent project folder.
