My css and images arent showing in django

I'm very new to using Django and am having issues with my css and images appearing in my home.html.

I added a STATICFILES_DIR after looking it up, however it's still no appearing. I also tried adding path('', include('template/pesq.css')) to urlpatterns but that just caused some errors so I took it out.

home.html

<html>
<head>
  <title>homepage</title>
  {% load static %}
  <link href="{% static 'pesq.css' %}" rel="stylesheet">
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
...

urls.py

from django.urls import path
from . import views

from django.conf.urls import url, include

app_name = "main"

urlpatterns = [
    path("", views.homepage, name="homepage"),
    path("", views.register, name='register'),
    path('tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
    #path('', include('template/pesq.css'))
]

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.http import HttpResponse

from django.template import Context, loader

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.contrib.auth import login, authenticate
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

from .models import info
# Create your views here.

def homepage(request):
    return render(request=request, template_name="template/home.html", context={"info": info.objects.all})#context_instance=RequestContext(request), 


def register(request):

    if request.method == "POST":
        form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            user = form.save()
            username = form.cleaned_data.get('username')
            login(request, user)
            return redirect("main:homepage")

        else:
            for msg in form.error_messages:
                print(form.error_messages[msg])

            return render(request = request,
                          template_name = "main/register.html",
                          context={"form":form})

    form = UserCreationForm
    return render(request = request,
                  template_name = "main/register.html",
                  context={"form":form})

setting.py

...
DEBUG = True

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['C:/Users/usr/Desktop/djangoProjects/mysite/main/'],

            ],
        },
    },
]
...
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
]

pesq.css

.column {
  float: left;
  width: 50%;
}

/* Clear floats after the columns */
.row:after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}

a:visited{
  color:lightgreen;
}

.ovlist h3{
  position:relative;
  display:inline-block;
  margin:30px;
  font-style:italic;
}

.ovlist {
  background-color: lightgreen;
  height: 50px;
}

The full directory is, C:/Users/usr/Desktop/djangoProjects/mysite/main/template/pesq.css

Your static files should be inside YourProject/YourApp/static/pseq.css

and also another issue what i found in your code is that your views.homepage and view.register sharing the same path .It should be like this:

urlpatterns = [
    path("", views.homepage, name="homepage"),
    path("register/", views.register, name='register'),

By defining STATICFILES_DIRS you've instructed Django to copy all the files from that directory to the directory defined by STATIC_ROOT setting when you run python manage.py collectstatic.

So, your css files should be located inside a directory defined in STATICFILES_DIRS where Django development server will find them after python manage.py runserver call. For production you should run collectstatic management command and define STATIC_ROOT too like:

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '../../static'))
