I only use 1 layer for lineart, 1 for sketch, 1 for color, 1 for background, and 1 for shading, ibis starts crying otherwise
 
Hehe my stuff usually is sub 10 layers...admittedly it’s very simplistic lol

I think the amount of layers in someone's art doesn't really make it better but instead depends heavily on their preferred way of working! For example when I draw a grass/sky background I'd have a layer for a flat terrain colour, one for terrain details, one for the sky, one for the clouds, one for light sources, one for shadows... And so on. It adds up fast. But I like it because I can tinker with everything individually without destroying the rest. ^^
 
Procreate is also mean like that. I could only use 11 layers on something I was working on recently. I had to shrink the dimensions as a result.

my backgrounds tend to have multiple layers (usually ground, sky, and background details-just like you lol) but when I make clouds I tend to splash some white and light blue onto my main sky and smudge it around.
