I know in Adobe Illustrator, there's an option where you can make a second layer, then change your original layer (by double-clicking it) to a "Template" layer.

In Corel, there is the Wireframe option, which you can then lock your artwork and trace over the top of it.

Hope this helps.

In Photoshop or Illustrator, you can create a layer over the top of your active layer, lock it and then set transparency to somewhere around 20%. In PS, you can also use a channel more or less the same way.
