You can do your own in Excel:

I tried it and it worked great.  I even scaled it down to 2x 3x and 4x (just
divide the row and column sizes).

Also, for the side-view, put a border every 3rd row and in page setup turn
on cell gridlines to put in the plate boundaries.

In the January-February issue of LEGO Mania Magazine on pages 18-19, there
is an ad saying the following(it was also in the Ultimate LEGO Book):

"Ever wonder how professional LEGO® model builders get all those great
curves and shapes into their creations?  The trick is something called brick
paper.  Brick paper is a special kind of graph paper designed to help plan
LEGO models.

Now you can get brick paper just like the LEGO model builders use!  Visit
the LEGO web site at http://www.lego.com/graph/ "

There's more, but it is unimportant.  Anyway, each square is exactly the
same size as the LEGO plates.  Loading the URL brings up a prompt to
download a .pdf file.  Need Windows, as well as Acrobat Reader 3 (or an
older version).

I believe the Quaker Oats and the Studios K1360 pack have already been
mentioned.
