django won't find static files in development

I have a project with this structure

myproject
    ├── myproject
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   ├── __init__.pyc
    │   ├── settings.py
    │   ├── settings.pyc
    │   ├── urls.py
    │   ├── urls.pyc
    │   ├── wsgi.py
    │   └── wsgi.pyc
    ├── manage.py
    ├── showcase
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   ├── __init__.pyc
    │   ├── admin.py
    │   ├── migrations
    │   │   └── __init__.py
    │   ├── models.py
    │   ├── tests.py
    │   ├── urls.py
    │   ├── urls.pyc
    │   ├── views.py
    │   └── views.pyc
    ├── static
    │   └── images
    │       ├── pics01.jpg
    │       └── pics11.jpg
    └── templates
        └── showcase
            └── base.html

In settings.py I've declared:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

and by connecting to 127.0.0.1/static/images/pics01.jpg I get a 404 error

'images/pics01.jpg' could not be found

Why is this?

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns() is already in the project urls.py as I followed this question.

You should set the STATICFILES_DIRS setting:

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
