At higher angles of attack the lift distribution normally changes to more outwards loaden wing. As such the local lift coefficient os higher outwards and - as far as I know - the local pressure is also lower.

The wing tip vortices are less the reason than the result. The whole airflow over the wing has some kind of rotation.
